“The Big Dig is designed to introduce youth of any age to the construction industry,” said Brian Miller, executive vice president of the trade association. “The Big Dig is our best long-term solution to meet the workforce development needs of the construction industry. For our visitors, operating heavy construction machinery is fun. That doesn’t change much as you grow up. Our industry needs tens of thousands of skilled trades people over the next ten years, so we are introducing our future workforce to this profession through the Big Dig.
