The labor shortage crisis is an old story in industry publications. They talk about the difficulties of dealing with the following major issues:

• professionals are near retirement or have already left the industry
• knowledge transfer from one generation to the other takes time
• many potential candidates don’t consider construction a good option
• vacant jobs cannot be fulfilled
• people during the COVID-19 pandemic left the industry for better opportunities.
