Many licensed building and construction trades are currently required to participate in continuing education to renew their licenses. Considering how quickly the construction industry evolves, this is incredibly important. Disincentivizing continuing education will increase the likelihood of workplace injuries on construction sites across Virginia. This is not only harmful for workers and their families but will also slow down needed projects in communities. We must also consider the safety of Virginia workers and residents who will occupy these new buildings that would be constructed by less educated trades people. Please don't do away with incentives for continuing education that benefit all of these people and groups immensely.
