    Build Your Future - Arizona Construction Industry

    The Greater Phoenix Chamber Foundation built a coalition of support to bring the Build Your Future campaign to Arizona in order to attract a diverse candidate pool to the skilled trades industry. As a part of that process, the Foundation created a Construction Workforce Collaborative focused on addressing the talent shortage in the industry. Construction is expected to be one of the strongest growing sectors in the state. The Construction Workforce Collaborative is supported by the Arizona Builder’s Alliance (ABA), the American Subcontractors Association of Arizona (ASA), Construction Financial Management Association’s (CFMA) Valley of the Sun Chapter, and other community organizations. Led by industry leaders, the Construction Collaborative developed a three-pronged approach to strengthening the construction workforce pipeline: career awareness, educational alignment, and earn and learn training models.
