Careers in Construction Colorado

CICC is excited to be participating in Colorado Gives Day for the first time in 2022!

In 2015, Careers in Construction was piloted by the Housing & Building Association of Colorado Springs and the Associated General Contractors-Colorado to support vocational education and to encourage the construction industry to join in creating well-paying career opportunities while helping industries. The program was created to address the workforce shortage and high school dropout rates by putting skilled vocational education back in schools. CICC gives students pathways to success in the residential and commercial building trades using the Home Builders Institute's Pre-Apprenticeship Certified Training curriculum. 

As of the 2022-2023 school year, the program is now in 47 high school locations throughout the state of Colorado. During the 2021-2022 school year, the program had 1,604 unique students enrolled.
