Construction could be the next big industry young people want to work in. According to data from Procore, the construction industry is currently at the cutting edge of AI, automation, and data-driven decision making—making it a surprisingly perfect match for tech-savvy Gen Z workers. Beyond just offering good pay (60% of construction leaders say they stay in the field for financial growth), the industry provides the purpose-driven work young people crave, with tangible results they can see every day. There’s also a unique knowledge exchange happening on job sites, with younger workers bringing digital skills while learning hands-on skills from experienced mentors. With 53% of the current construction workforce expected to retire by 2036, companies are looking to actively recruit the next generation through apprenticeship programs and tech-focused education partnerships.
