Taylor Morrison Home Corporation (NYSE: TMHC) is addressing a critical industry challenge: the looming retirement of experienced construction workers and a low interest from younger generations in skilled trades. The company’s annual internship program seeks to attract and cultivate new talent, converting 18% of participants into full-time staff over the last three years, with 60% of those hired joining construction roles.
