About
The Treasure Coast Builders Association Charitable Foundation was started in 1988 to provide scholarships for students pursuing careers in construction. Over time, the Charitable Fund has grown to meet the workforce needs of our region by offering hands-on learning and career exploration events.
We host Careers in Construction events to connect young people with local construction professionals. These events give participants real-world skills and help them explore careers in the trades.
Careers in Construction Week is a one week program for young adults ages 18–30. Participants learn hands-on skills in multiple construction trades. The week ends with a career fair, where local employers, apprenticeship programs, and education partners offer job and training opportunities.
Careers in Construction Day happens at local high schools. Students spend a single day exploring construction careers through interactive demonstrations and hands-on activities led by industry professionals. These events are designed to spark interest in the trades.
In 2025, 27 young adults graduated from Careers in Construction Week, with 9 participants starting jobs in the trades or joining a trades program soon after.
