Chosen topic of research includes a focus on talent attraction, development, and retention in the non-residential construction industry. The intent is to expand a deeper understanding of the ways talent recruitment, onboarding, and career planning in the industry impact skilled workforce development, retention, and can offer alleviation in workforce shortage. Within the US, studies on talent functions in the construction industry are not robust. This is a problem space that needs further investigation as the amount of construction jobs in the US continues to grow annually and the available population of capable individuals in the industry will substantially decline soon as the workforce ages out without the sufficient numbers in new generations to replace the demand. The benefit of this research would be to help increase awareness of industry needs and gain further knowledge of practices to attract, develop, and retain new and existing talent in the industry.
