Workforce development is one of the biggest problems facing the home building industry. Soaring student debt, and the abundance of jobs in the field of residential construction, makes this industry a viable alternative to a four-year degree.
We at the Home Building Association of Richmond, along with some local builder and trade partners, are doing our part to get students in our area excited about a career in one of the facets of the home building industry.

For the last two years we have hosted a wildly successful Student Construction Conference. This is not your average job fair. It is a hands-on, interactive experience that exposes students to the breadth of career possibilities that do not require a four-year degree. Additionally, some businesses recruit interns and summer employees from students they meet at this conference!

​We have many ways to support this event:
