A major component of the building safety industry is the people. Well-trained, engaged code officials are integral to safe buildings and a comprehensive system of modern building codes and standards that are regularly and consistently applied.
Over the next 15 years, the building industry will experience a loss of 80% of its existing skilled workforce. While this may initially seem to be a daunting challenge, it presents a great opportunity for students, military veterans and other job seekers looking for a rewarding career. The International Code Council is committed to helping make the transition to the next generation and has already made great strides in bringing in new talent.
