Join The Movement

Educators

We partner with schools, the change agents, to help open their students’ eyes to the possibility of a career in construction through our “I built this!” events, as well as career services support.

General Contractors & Brands

We consult companies focused on improving existing internship programs to attract diverse talent, while implementing DEI change management initiatives so they can lead the industry charge.

Students

High school and college students represent the future of the construction industry — and we connect young professionals with opportunities to learn, grow and be successful.

Knowing I am part of a wonderful company that supports its employees has given me a sense of peace and purpose.

Nasir Smith with Fulcrum and Target

“This internship opened my eyes to the professional world in construction and helped me develop confidence in myself.”

Israel Carteno and Walgreens

Learn as much as you can for as long as you can. Learn from the people who have the most experience because they have so much knowledge to share.

Jesse Gonzalez and Haydn Raborn

Absorb as much information as you can from your experienced coworkers and apply everything you learn to keep improving.

Jerald Stimage and Elliott Parker

“It’s just about how you network and how much you network. Networking is something that will land you jobs — period. That is something I have lived by.”

Siddhant Mehta

This program is a vital tool that can fast-track your intern into a position at your company or somewhere else in the industry.

CEO & Founder

The students became excited about the possibility of working within the construction industry. This was an eye opener for students; it showed them that there are more job opportunities within construction than those for which you wear a hard hat.

It was a valuable experience that to this day still helps me in my career. Don’t be afraid to get out of your comfort zone and try something new before starting your career.

The FORCE Behind Workforce Development

ConstructReach increases visibility of opportunities in construction.

First, we partner with educators to help students discover career pathways in construction — and in doing so, we connect general contractors to interns and innovative new curriculum for their internship programs. By introducing young, diverse audiences to sustainable careers, the work we do ensures the construction industry will continue to thrive.

Building OPPORTUNITY

Jobs in Construction

A career in construction offers so much more than a hammer and nail. Our member organizations have job and internship opportunities nationwide.

"I Built This!"

ConstructReach hits the road each year to connect students across the country with hands-on learning opportunities.

Our trademarked “I built this!” initiative provides a platform for construction companies, educators, students, household brand names, and the surrounding community to gather for a day filled with learning, fun, and promise.

The high-energy, hands-on events get students excited about the possibilities of a future in construction. Looking for a way to build community and have a lasting impact? Partner with us to host an “I built this!” event in your city.
