Need for skilled workforce

Converse County and Wyoming face a growing housing crisis driven in large part by a shortage of skilled construction labor. Major projects and higher-paid temporary workers are straining limited housing, making it increasingly difficult to recruit and retain essential professionals such as teachers, nurses, and law enforcement.

Eastern Wyoming College is building the solution by creating a local pipeline of skilled tradespeople who can expand housing capacity and strengthen our workforce.
