Project Build MN

Supporting the Trades

From skilled trades professionals on the job site to project managers, estimators, and industry leaders behind the scenes, construction is built by people.  

While the construction industry continues to be one of the fastest-growing segments of our regional economy, it also faces an ongoing workforce shortage. Supporting the next generation of skilled professionals is critical to the strength of our industry.

That’s why MBEX partners with fellow industry organizations to advance workforce development initiatives that raise awareness of career opportunities in the trades.

Project Build Minnesota

MBEX is a proud founding partner of Project Build Minnesota, which offers an annual conference for construction teachers to share and network (and connect their students directly with industry) and a talent acquisition conference for those in our industry seeking to attract new talent.

A career in the trades is not only viable,  it’s in demand and financially strong, with projected industry growth outpacing many other sectors in the coming years.

Whether you’re a high school student exploring career paths, a college student considering alternatives, or a professional ready for a new challenge, your future in the trades can start here.
