Together, We Are Building Something Awesome

Build California is a comprehensive and innovative statewide effort to inspire a new generation of construction professionals led by Associated General Contractors of California (AGC CA) through the AGC Construction Education Foundation (AGC CEF).

 

To successfully launch this effort, AGC CA and AGC CEF joined forces with a coalition of organizations and construction professionals passionate about the industry and establishing a steady pipeline of talent moving forward.
