Building Skills from the Ground Up: Solving the U.S. Construction Workforce Crisis

Episode notes

The U.S. construction industry is facing a crisis that threatens billions in infrastructure projects - and it's not just about labor shortages. It's about skills gaps, diversity challenges, and preparing for an AI-driven future. In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Dr. Vijayeta Malla , a Program/Project Controls Professional with 17+ years of experience managing $47B+ infrastructure programs including the Ontario Line Subway and Port of Oakland projects. As PMI's Global Construction Ambassador and a pioneer in AI-enabled project controls, Dr. Malla brings a unique perspective bridging experience across India, Canada, and the USA.
