CONSTRUCTION INCLUSION WEEK SCHOOL RESOURCES
Inspire the Next Generation of Builders
Building a sustainable workforce starts long before a craft professional steps onto a jobsite. The new CIW School Outreach Package provides a complete, turnkey toolkit designed for K-12 classroom visits, technical school presentations, and career days.
Equip your project managers, safety leaders, and apprentices with ready-to-use slide decks, speaker notes, hands-on student activities, and targeted fact sheets for educators and parents. Everything is organized into a simple step-by-step framework so your team can step into local schools with total confidence, clear up trade myths, and open visible pathways into modern construction careers.
CIW 2026 CREATIVE IDEAS GUIDE DIRECTORY
The Creative Ideas Directory is an interactive platform designed to help organizations plan impactful Construction Inclusion Week initiatives and sustain workforce development year-round. Moving beyond static PDFs, this dynamic tool allows companies of all sizes to search and adapt practical strategies tailored to their specific capacity and goals.
The directory organizes actionable concepts across five core categories: Retain (promoting employee well-being and jobsite culture), Recruit (outreach via schools, community events, and trade partnerships), Develop (advancing continuous learning and apprenticeship support), Inspire (storytelling, leadership access, and industry innovation), and Engage (building family connections and team cohesion).
From quick jobsite toolbox talks to long-term programs, it bridges the gap between high-level workforce goals and daily field execution.
CONSTRUCTION INCLUSION WEEK MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCE DIRECTORY
Building Awareness. Supporting Wellness. Transforming Industry Culture.
Mental health is just as vital to a strong, resilient construction industry as physical safety. Recognizing the unique stressors and challenges faced by our workforce, we have curated a comprehensive directory of trusted information, tools, and support. Whether you are looking to assess your own emotional foundations, connect with immediate crisis support, find professional guidance, or learn how to show up for your colleagues, explore these resources to help prioritize well-being on the job and beyond.
