Description:
As contractors continue to face workforce shortages, accessing foreign labor is becoming a more sought-after option. In response to these challenges, AGC has put together a toolkit for its members that seeks to highlight the alternate ways to employ foreign talent currently in the U.S. and/or bring in foreign talent when U.S. workers are not available. This webinar will review the NEW AGC toolkit and give contractors practical guidance to navigate immigration laws.
