Founded in 1969, the ABC Florida Gulf Coast Chapter of the National Associated Builders & Contractors organization is based in Tampa, FL. Serving over 400 member companies from Gainesville south to Naples and as far east as Lakeland, the organization seeks to help members develop people, win work and deliver that work safely, ethically, and profitably for the betterment of the communities in which they live and work.
This Labor Day, we continue the decades-long tradition of honoring the American worker. At Associated Builders and Contractors, a national trade association with more than 21,000 members, we know that our workers are our most valuable asset—the people who build where we live, learn, work, heal and play. And as an industry with an earn-while-you-learn education model, we provide a pathway for our workers to constantly hone their skills, advance their careers and achieve the American Dream.
Recruiting, educating and upskilling our workforce is a cornerstone of the U.S. construction industry, and an essential component to supporting our most important asset—our people.
With construction spending at an all-time high, and an estimated 440,000 construction jobs that need to be filled in 2019 alone to meet current demands, we’re hiring. To learn more about ABC’s workforce development initiatives, visit workforce.abc.org.
