Mike Rowe will not fill a single vacancy in an equipment department. He is certainly raising awareness at a national level, but construction is generally a local operation.

That’s how Dave Walsh, VP, Leadership & Organizational Development, justifies the effort Miron Construction Co. has put toward finding qualified workers for its future. Miron has multiple methods of attacking the shortage in its communities, many of which involve direct involvement in existing activities as well as creating its own opportunities.
