Build your future.

Join our professional
network.

Step towards a career you love.

Construction companies need skilled labor in order to run well. High school students have opportunities for careers that are high paying without having a degree. We desire to open their eyes to the possibilities within the construction and home builder field. 

The Indiana Builders Association has partnered with Build Your Future Indiana. Their aim is to close the skills gap by awareness, preparation and recruitment of the next generation of skilled professionals.
