Advance into the Future

   

  In a growing marketplace that has become increasingly complex by fierce competition, Arizona contractors are facing an escalating challenge to find qualified workers for all types of trades. In addition, the cyclical nature of the construction industry means personnel often work for multiple employers of the length of their careers. This competitive marketplace illustrates the economic inter-dependence that is needed among contractors to deliver quality workmanship and build a workforce for tomorrow's challenge.

     Your ABA peers understand that training workers is the joint responsibility of construction companies. Recognizing that a united effort can make a difference we invite you to join your contractor peers in their endeavor to recruit, train and promote qualified workers.

   

Standardized curricula is the efficient and effective method to build a workforce where skills are easily identifiable and transferable. Contractors supporting and participating in solid apprenticeship training share with their peers the best techniques used today, develop new methods for the future and build a sk9illed workforce for the next millennium.

Why your company should train with ABA:

  • Studies prove that when intensive training programs are in place, companies view training as an investment- a good investment-rather than a cost.
  • A trained worker moves up quickly and takes on more responsibility
  • Multiple skills will promote cross training.
  • Training reduces absenteeism and employee turnover.
  • An company educational program will assist you in attracting and retaining the most qualified workers
  • The technical knowledge and related skills of your employees  will increase.
  • Customers will know that your company is committed to quality construction.
  • A well trained worker is valuable, safer, more efficient & cost effective.
  • Your company will net greater profits by focusing on projects with higher margins.
  • A trained workforce generates a reservoir of skilled workers, many of whom are potential supervisors.
  • Training builds a highly skilled workforce for you company's future!
