How do we do it?

  1. CEFGA identifies high schools or technical colleges with existing construction training programs.
  2. CEFGA works with schools to accredit their programs and ensure students are learning relevant skills from industry-certified trainers. Through classroom and hands-on instruction, students earn credentials from the NCCER - National Center for Construction Education and Research.
     

  3. CEFGA facilitates job site tours, a spring CareerExpo, summer internships and other activities throughout the year to ensure students are aware of the construction industry.
  4. Individual companies, trade associations and others recruit directly from the high school and technical college programs.
