November 2024

As the year comes to a close, we're excited to reflect on the growth and achievements of our ABC NESD community. With National Apprenticeship Week around the corner, we’re looking forward to celebrating the strides we’ve made in workforce development and highlighting the impact of our apprenticeship programs.

Celebrating National Apprenticeship Week—Nov. 17-23


Join us in celebrating National Apprenticeship Week, marking 10 years of engagement, expansion, and innovation in the construction industry. Apprenticeships are the foundation of our skilled workforce, and ABC members continue to lead by example. In 2023 alone, ABC members invested $1.6 billion in workforce development.


The Construction Workforce of Tomorrow is Created Today.
