Healthcare is one of the most popular Construction Plus (C+) pathways among U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) YouthBuild programs, and for good reason: overall employment in healthcare occupations is projected to grow 11.2% from 2022 to 2032 — four times faster than the average for all occupations. It can be hard to keep up with this rapidly expanding sector, but we can help!
