Work experience programs create powerful connections between the classroom and the construction site—benefiting 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:
- Employer Guide: How to Host a Student – Step-by-step advice for builders, trades, and other industry professionals interested in offering meaningful work experience opportunities.
- School Guide: Helping Students Explore the Trades – Tips and tools for educators and career coordinators to connect students with safe, supportive job placements in the home building sector.
Together, these guides are designed to make it easy to get started—and to open doors for the next generation of skilled trades professionals.
