Future of Trades Looks Bright at Let's Build Camp - July 2024

JM team members got hands-on last month to help girls build construction skills and help the industry build a pipeline of future professionals at Let's Build Construction Camp for Girls Phoenix.

The camp — June 10-14 at Carpenters Local Union 1912 in Phoenix, Arizona — was founded to “ignite the spark within girls to explore the built environment through architecture, engineering, construction and building materials manufacturing-related careers." Started in 2016 by Kirsten Fallon, Jon Lattin, and Janet Grazul, Let's Build “takes a proactive approach to addressing workforce shortages and increasing women participation in the AECM industry by introducing young girls to the opportunities available to them."
