Why Teach Courses in Spanish?
Carolinas AGC recognizes the growing presence of Spanish-speaking professionals in the commercial construction industry and the challenges that come with it. With Hispanic and Latino workers now making up nearly 30% of the U.S. construction workforce, the industry must address new questions, safety concerns, and communication barriers that impact job site safety. Alarmingly, 25% of fatal construction accidents are linked to language-related misunderstandings, highlighting the need for better training accessibility. But safety requires more than just information—it demands real, actionable solutions. By offering safety courses in Spanish, we can bridge critical gaps, ensuring workers receive training in a language they fully understand. This approach not only enhances safety but also supports professional development, helping companies fully utilize the skills of their workforce. Furthermore, businesses that invest in bilingual training see measurable benefits, including lower incident rates, improved worker confidence, and higher employee retention. A safer, stronger industry starts with effective communication, and these courses are a vital step in that direction.
