Training/Education
The Builders Association helps its members stay ahead of emerging trends in construction by participating in a number of training and education programs, such as the Building Information Modeling Forum which was held in October. Members can take classes through the Construction Education Institute, and the Construction Career Opportunity Program is helping to diversify Chicagoland's construction workforce.
The Builders Association also hosts the only American Institute of Constructors certification class in the Chicagoland area. Association employees can become certified constructors by taking a test at DePaul University-O'Hare.
