Industry partnership program

Industry partners

We collaborate with contractors, construction businesses, educators and industry professionals interested in developing the skilled construction workforce.

Ways to partner

Six ways to work with us

Host a trainee

Take a participant onto a live site under your supervision for a defined period.

Hire graduates

Meet entry-level workers trained to a known standard and evaluated on it.

Provide equipment

Tools and materials that turn a classroom into a training station.

Teach a workshop

Run a session in your specialty, or bring a crew to demonstrate a process.

Give industry feedback

Tell us what entry-level workers are missing, so the curriculum tracks real hiring needs.

Support curriculum

Help build the written material other instructors will eventually deliver.

Why partner

You know what is missing in a new hire

Contractors tell us the same things: they cannot find people who show up ready, and they do not have time to teach from zero. Both are fixable, and the fix is faster when the people doing the hiring shape what gets taught.

Become an industry partner

Contractors, suppliers, educators and workforce organizations. Tell us how you would like to be involved.

Get started

Ask about training

Tell us where you are starting from. No prior construction experience is required, and there is no cost to ask.
