creating direct connections between stakeholders

The construction industry offers opportunity for every interest and skill set. Whether someone thrives in hands-on fieldwork, enjoys problem-solving through estimating, prefers coordinating people and resources in project management, or wants to apply creative talents in marketing and business development... there is a place for them in construction.

The Workforce Development Summit creates direct connections between students, jobseekers, and the construction industry.




The event is designed to break stereotypes, highlight career options both in the field and the office, and showcase how innovation and collaboration make construction a career built for every future.
