Community Outreach

Picture
"Due to an aging workforce and public misconceptions about the construction industry, we've seen a steady decline in the number of individuals entering the construction workforce."
Picture
​Across the Nation, leading construction companies have been participating by completing a “we build” project, donating $500 to our careers in construction scholarship fund, and passing on the challenge to fellow construction companies. Help us to keep the momentum, and take the challenge!

Visit www.webuildtheusa.org to participate and contribute to the cause

Picture
As a construction professional, you have a unique perspective about the industry that proves valuable for young students.  Options for your company to get involved include We Build the USA, Building MAS Skills, High School Career Presentations, and Program Advisory Committee’s.


Picture
Members of the business and industry community are encouraged to serve on a college or high school Career and Technical Education (CTE) Program Advisory Committee.

Advisory committees can be established for a single workforce education program such as Welding Technology or for all of the CTE programs at a school district. Advisory committees typically meet two to three times per academic year to assist educators in developing, maintaining, and evaluating workforce education programs and courses.

​​Committee members can assist schools in various matters such as reviewing curriculum, evaluating classroom and laboratory facilities, serving as a classroom speaker, arranging for field trips, creating student internship opportunities, assisting with supplemental funding, donating supplies and equipment, etc. Serving on an advisory committee lets school districts know how important they are to the community. If you’re interested, click the envelope below to e-mail our Outreach Coordinator.

This program connects the construction industry to K-12 students through a construction themed math and science. The current target is middle school grades 7 &8 through a lesson that shows the math and science behind Building a Water park. Students love the lesson and interactive discussion with members of the construction community.

You can make a make an impact on the lives of future generations!
