ACI and The Women in Concrete Alliance to Host Workforce Summit
In conjunction with the Women in Concrete Alliance (WICA), the American Concrete Institute (ACI) will host a Workforce Innovation Summit at the upcoming Concrete Convention and Exposition in Detroit, Mich., on Wed., March 29. Addressing the question, “Do we have the right labor force for the jobs that will exist in 10 years?” attendees will learn about an effective diversity strategy, and what is working and what is hurting progress. The session will provide attendees with an understanding of actions that can be taken to drive progress in organizations.
“Building on the success of similar gatherings in South America, the Women in Concrete Alliance Steering Committee is excited to be able to host an event for the concrete industry that shares insight on today’s changing workforce,” said Kimberly Kayler, WICA co-founder and ACI board of direction member. “Through the sponsorship of the American Concrete Institute and Baker Concrete Construction, we have been able to assemble leading-edge speakers that will not only educate, but provide practical guidance on how to thrive in today’s global workplace environment.”
