ABC PREP ACADEMY IN FISHERS HELPING TO FILL A MANPOWER
SHORTAGE IN THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY
FISHERS — According to instructors at ABC Prep Academy, there are around 500,000
construction jobs open across the country. They say the programs the academy
provides help fill some of those jobs by training high schools kids who are interested
in the industry.
ABC Prep Academy works with those employers that have shortages and see what
areas they need the most help. But they also make sure the students are going into a
trade they enjoy.
"You’re getting new young, excited people and they are getting a taste of what
construction is like while they are in high school,” Gaylor Electric's Bryan Feller said.
“They can carry the skills they learned in high school into their professional careers."
