Our “I built this!” events are a hands-on experience for students to explore possibilities and future careers in construction.
BUILDING COMMUNITY
One City At a Time.
It’s no secret: our industry is hungry for young, diverse talent. A huge number of the construction workforce is set to retire within the next five years.
But, many young professionals don’t know about the opportunities or exciting possibilities of a career in construction.
“I built this!” is a nationwide roadshow that provides a platform for construction companies, educators, students, household brands, and the surrounding community to gather for a day filled with learning, fun, and promise.
Are you interested in hosting an “I built this!” event? Contact ConstructReach to discuss partnership opportunities.

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.
