This letter is from the first newsletter that we received going into the new year and it is important. It describes one company’s workforce development program that meets the goals that Construction Citizen has embraced as those critical to the development of a sustainable workforce. It also issues a challenge to other contractors to match or exceed these program goals in order to raise the bar and produce better work and a socially responsible industry. Way to go Marek Brothers!
