Through the campaign, the industry has united to enable potential candidates at all stages in their life or career to explore job opportunities in sectors including natural resources, manufacturing, remanufacturing, wholesale and distribution, professional building, retail, forestry management, transportation, construction, development, market research and innovation, education, export and trade, standards, supply chain, steel aluminum, gypsum, insulation, building science, energy efficiency, paints and finishes, and green technology.
“Picture a typical employee or job in the lumber, building materials and hardgoods industry. Chances are, that mental image is out of focus or out of date. Our industry is enormous and growing with hundreds of thousands of employees in a broad range of roles. We promote and embrace diversity in the workplace, the boardroom, and our operations. We provide on-the-job training and opportunities for skill enhancement. There is opportunity here for anyone. Our ‘Let’s Go Build’ campaign seeks to bring our industry into sharper focus for job-seekers looking to build a fun, rewarding, stable, and fulfilling career,” said Liz Kovach, President, Western Retail Lumber Association. “We have everything job seekers need; all we need is them.”
