First-time authors Chris Eccleston and Jenny Kerr Schroen have worked on many fresh ideas together at Delmarva Veteran Builders (DVB), a commercial construction firm, and realized they shared a long-time dream to write a children's book. Basing their concept on DVB's tagline, “Grit Leads to Greatness,” they devised an epic adventure book to show both parents and children that construction is heroic. Once the story was written, Chris and Jenny spent most of 2022 meeting with pioneers and thought leaders of the industry, learning more about what was being done to address the immense labor deficit. They figured they were onto something when they began hearing from not just national construction organizations, but also people outside of the industry who shared stories of how the workforce shortage affected them personally. Chris and Jenny quickly realized that one group or construction affiliation was not going to solve this. It was going to take a global effort to introduce a new generation to the trades. They hope their book, “Grit Leads to Greatness”, can be used as a tool to help bring together people from all walks of life to conquer an issue that impacts all of humanity.Time Stamps :
