One Class
You know when you get 2,300,000 views on a video you hit on a hot button topic.
With 75% of Construction workers speaking Spanish, there is a communication struggle in this industry. Not only does it hurt productivity, it can be dangerous with 25% of workplace accidents relating to a language barrier.
Back in the Spring, Freestyle Languages (in conjunction with the Austin AGC) ran a Spanish Class pilot, and it went so well the National AGC is picking them up for 2025!
While that’s good news for the industry, the even better news is that you don’t have to wait til next year to get your Spanish learning on.
One Video
As you are leading and mentoring the Next Generation of this industry, are you giving them an opportunity to try and screw things up?
Construction moves fast. Its constantly screwing things up, fixing them, and moving on. If you don’t give that Project Engineer enough rope to make their own decisions and learn to fix their own screw-ups, it’s a complete disservice to them as budding Construction Managers.
