ABOUT CCF

The Construction Careers Foundation’s (CCF) mission is to increase the diversity of entrants into the construction trades and foster long-term construction careers.

Founded in 2005, the Construction Careers Foundation is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization. It is guided by a volunteer board comprised of construction-business owners, management firms trade associations and labor representation.

The mission of CCF is to increase the diversity of entrants to the construction trades and foster long-term construction careers.

As employers of our current and future workers and experts in the construction industry, Construction Careers Foundation board members are committed to creating opportunities to recruit, prepare and retain motivated individuals who are representative of Minnesota’s future workforce.

The Construction Careers Foundation is one of the few organizations in Minnesota in which multiple construction trades, and their related trade associations, partner with schools, teachers, students, parents, labor groups and businesses. Our shared vision is to motivate underrepresented youth to graduate from high school, give them the chance to explore the various opportunities in the construction trades and facilitate their entrance into careers in their chosen trade.
