Door County home builders, like other construction firms statewide, have been busy this year and face challenges staying on schedule.  That's partly because of the demand for skilled workers, especially construction equipment technicians.  Now Wisconsin's Department of Workforce Development is starting a new Construction Equipment Technician Apprenticeship Program to fill that demand.  Eli Phillips, owner of Alpha Through Omega Constructions in Casco, says the time couldn't be better.

Recruiting for the Construction Equipment Technician Program is now underway.
