Workforce Development
AGC of VT is committed to helping its members improve the construction industry workforce. One of the ways that AGC of VT is striving to fulfill the commitment to Workforce Development is with this Web Page. The Board of Directors has approved it's construction with the hope this page provides a vehicle where contractors can list job opening ads, while providing a place where potential employees can view the jobs that are available. This site will also provide a vehicle where they can list their skills and the type of career they hope to find with in the industry. This page will match the job listing with the potential employee and the company will be notified via e-mail of the match.
