Workforce Development Round Table at International Builders Show

Industry-wide challenges require industry-wide participation to find meaningful solutions, and workforce development requires our collective attention.

Momentum Innovation Group is leading the development of a Workforce Development program, specifically aimed at attracting young talent into the Offsite construction industry. This round table discussion is designed to gain insights from industry stakeholders to understand shared pain points, and identify existing training tools, content and/or methods that we can leverage in our three year funded effort.

Join us for this interactive round table as we work together to create a sustainable path forward for the construction workforce.

Workforce Development Platform to be Created for Offsite Construction

Jersey City, NJ: Momentum Innovation Group, LLC was recently chosen as one of 13 project recipients to be funded by the U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”) to develop an Advanced Workforce for Advanced Technology. Momentum Innovation Group’s proposal, Construction Methodology Transformation for the Benefit of Workforce Development, will focus on developing a workforce development platform that will allow individuals entering the building workforce to access training content and job opportunities, specifically in the offsite construction industry. The resulting platform will be scalable nationwide, will integrate online and classroom training, and provide hands-on training inside modular factories. The platform will also allow potential employers to easily connect with students looking for employment in the offsite industry.

The DOE will be awarding $82.6 million in funding to 44 total projects that will potentially lower American’s energy bills and help meet President Biden’s goal of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 by investing in new energy efficient building technologies, construction practices, and the U.S. buildings-sector workforce.

“We are very excited to have the opportunity to build upon current educational materials and work with factories and teachers to create a path forward for the U.S. offsite construction workforce,” says Colby Swanson, Managing Partner at Momentum Innovation Group. “We welcome any suggestions on existing, successful curriculum that might be helpful in further developing our program.”

The curriculum development will begin next year and will be followed by the launch of a pilot program in Pennsylvania before being offered nationwide.
