Our Mission
Business and society cannot function without skilled labor.
Build My Future introduces students to career pathways that champion the value and dignity of skilled labor. Learning a skill expands one’s career opportunities and entering the trades does not mean the end of learning.
Although technology is playing a greater role in the construction industry than ever before, it will never replace the essential human skills of observation, practical judgement, and manual dexterity required by an industry that demands accuracy and precision.

Build My Future 2018
"College is oftentimes the only option presented to high school students, but college isn’t for everyone. The trades need skilled workers now. The construction industry offers respectable jobs and dependable employment, and workers make great money.
Build My Future introduces students to the trades and provides them with an option other than college; a career with the financial stability that everyone wants, the flexibility to travel and work anywhere, and the personal satisfaction of a job well done at the end of the day.” — U.S. Senator Markwayne Mullin
