General Session:
Training the Craftsmen -- Who's Doing It and Where Do You Find Good People?

One of the most difficult challenges facing the restoration and renovation
industry today is sourcing the artisans and craftspeople to properly execute
a project. Fortunately there is a growing number of programs stepping up to
the plate to fill the need. These modern day successors to the traditional
guild training offer formal degree programs as well as ad hoc ones. Here is a
great opportunity to find out who is doing that training and what resources
are out there to find these tradespeople.
