Building Talent Foundation

Building talent connections - the foundation connects employers with job seekers by supporting and strengthening education partnerships where job seekers are and the training programs, tools, and platforms where employers seek new talent. The foundation's talent connections are geared toward strengthening and scaling employment and business ownership in the industry, while improving collaboration between employers, educators, and jobseekers.

Building talent engagement - the foundation supports the business growth of its trade partners and the industry's workforce by leveraging innovative talent management technology and advancing workplace practices for recruiting, hiring, developing, engaging, and retaining workers in residential construction. The foundation fosters professional development, entrepreneurship, and career advancement among the industry's workers and business owners.

Jobs to build - the foundation's national, centralized, cloud-based extensible platform, that provides local construction occupational outlook, career pathways, job search, and scholarships and education/training program search for youth, career changers, and job seekers. Through the employer talent pipeline management portal, employers of all sizes are matched with job seekers and students, reducing recruiting costs and increasing retention. This construction industry-serving site aims to become the industry marketplace - a place where builders go to find qualified trade contractors; where trade contractors go in search of project (work) opportunities, materials, and workers; and where talent goes to seek out employment and upskilling opportunities.
