What’s the Campground Workforce Portal and Why Does it Matter?


Through a partnership with Missouri Works Initiative and AGCMO, Campground’s digital hub connects talent with industry  contacts across Missouri’s commercial construction workforce ecosystem. In addition to helping your team search for  candidates and advertise open positions, this platform assists you with tracking certifications, training programs, and  participants. Campground also helps employers quickly identify qualified talent through a centralized platform and manage participant engagement, employer relationships, and workforce outcomes.
