“We know how hard it’s become to find reliable people. Every week, our members tell us the same thing — they’re ready to grow but can’t take on the risk of another bad hire. *Path to Employment* was built to change that.

This program connects employers with motivated, safety-ready workers who’ve already proven they want to build a career in our industry. And with the wage subsidy support, it’s a practical, low-risk way to strengthen your team and keep projects moving. It’s good for business, and it’s good for the future of our workforce.”
