Recent research
released from the UNH Extension and the Northeast Regional
Initiative for the Preservation Trades shows there to be substantial shortages
of preservation and restoration tradespeople, such as carpenters, masons, and
plasterers in Northeastern states. The research indicates that these workforce
shortages have been caused by a variety of factors. Watch the Zoom recording of the March 28, 2023 webinar summarizing the report findings and to learn
more about the research process, the participants, and hear a wealth of insights
from tradespeople, educators, workforce development professionals, and
preservation specialists.
