Step In. Step Up. Support the Next Generation
Work experience programs benefit both students and home building companies. For students, it’s a chance to explore rewarding careers in residential construction, gain valuable hands-on experience, and build confidence in a real-world setting. For employers, it’s an opportunity to mentor future talent, strengthen workforce pipelines, and showcase the dynamic, team-driven nature of the industry.
To help make these connections easier, we’ve developed two practical guides.
Together, these guides are designed to make it easy to get started—and to open doors for the next generation of skilled trades professionals.
