BTF is rising to new heights! The number of markets that we serve is growing. We recently expanded into Denver/Colorado Springs, CO, and South Florida (Broward, Miami Dade, and Palm Beach Counties), where BTF Engagement Managers will develop local, sustainable residential construction workforces.
Steve Fega will serve Denver and Colorado Springs in partnership with Contributing Partner BuildStrong Education—an Oakwood Homes Foundation. BTF will also be collaborating with Education Partners BuildStrong Academy of Colorado in Denver and Careers in Construction Colorado in Colorado Springs. Leading Builders of America member companies, BuildStrong Education, Housing & Building Association of Colorado Springs, and Associated General Contractors of Colorado will provide invaluable support as BTF gets established in these markets.
Waine Weeks will lead the expansion into the South Florida region as BTF empowers job seekers to connect with rewarding career opportunities with employer partners. With the support of BTF’s National Engagement Manager, Carmen Cruz, Waine is coordinating the Residential Construction Hiring Event in Boynton Beach, Fla., where they'll help connect job seekers directly with BTF's employer partners.
The event is on April 26 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and hosted by Florida Career College and BTF. At the event, career candidates can learn more about career pathways, interact with employers, and interview for jobs. Employers can collect resumes and job applications, interview qualified applicants, answer questions about their companies, and hire new employees on the spot.
