Explore BLDG Trades is a workforce initiative where we partner with area businesses, training partners and educators to shine a virtual spotlight on building trades training and career opportunities. Explore BLDG Trades includes a resource-rich landing page on the Chamber website with career pathways, career exploration videos and a directory of local employers. The resources are provided to area educators for their use in exposing high school students to career opportunities in the building trades and related industries.
