AFSA-FL is proud to support the Build Tampa Bay Foundation

The Build Tampa Bay Foundation was established to encourage high school students to explore career opportunities in construction-related fields.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the skilled worker shortage is expected to grow to 1.6 million workers in the construction industry by 2022. Moreover, more than four out of five Associated Builders and Contractors member companies nationally are already experiencing a shortage of appropriately skilled workers, despite an annual investment of $1.1 billion in apprenticeships and workforce training. The Build Tampa Bay Foundation is working to encourage more individuals to explore lasting career opportunities in these fields
Today’s construction industry is limited only by the shortage of qualified workers. By supporting the Build Tampa Bay Foundation you are funding bold and innovative initiatives and projects that will attract outstanding young men and women to the industry, training them to be skilled professionals, and providing them with career paths in the construction industry.
