ASA Connect: Business Breakfast 10-21-25

“NON-TRADITIONAL LABOR SOURCES AND BEHAVIOR-BASED HIRING, EVALUATING, AND TRAINING”

Date: Tuesday, October 21

Time: 7:30-9:00am [full breakfast included]

Location:  ARC Construction Services, 3515 Marmenco Court, Baltimore, MD  21230

The construction industry is experiencing a labor shortage due to increased immigration enforcement and a lack of young people entering the trades, and our culture has produced a “workforce” without a clue about the behaviors employers expect.  In this session we will talk about non-traditional labor sources and how to interview potential employees to better determine who has the desire to show up, learn a new skillset, and integrate with your corporate culture. 

Join representatives from Project JumpStart and construction companies who have successfully hired from their training program, moderated by Warren Quinn, Executive Director of ASA of Baltimore and CEO of HUMANS AT WORK, to discuss:

• Project JumpStart trade training program and how to work with them
• Why your interviews should focus on key behaviors rather than experience in the trade
• How to identify the key behaviors you need your employees to follow
• How to interview using behavior-based questions
• Post-hire: Measuring employees’ key behaviors and coaching to them

(Optional) Business Practice Interchange (BPI)

All ASA Connect events (except the Annual Meeting in June) are followed by an optional, members-only, attorney-moderated, confidential Business Practice Interchange (BPI) session to discuss upcoming or ongoing projects, people, pitfalls, and processes.
