With construction companies expected to hire more than 170,000 workers in Virginia through 2021, the Virginia chapters of Associated Builders and Contractors and Associated General Contractors are joining forces with Build Your Future to highlight pathways to meaningful, good-paying positions in the construction industry through work-based learning, certifications and credentials.
Specifically, Build Your Future Virginia is focusing on:
- connecting the dots by providing a path from interest to training to job placement as a craft professional;
- shifting perception by shaping the public’s opinion about careers in the construction industry to reflect the wide range of professions available; and
- advocating for career and technical education as a priority in all schools and the Department of Education.
