Our Activities

Finding tomorrow’s workforce is a major priority for AGC Iowa. We perform presentations to schools, community organizations, and public institutions upon request. Contact AGC Iowa to inquire further about talking to your group about high paying careers with no debt.

Promote High Paying Construction Careers

Several years ago, AGC Iowa created Webuildiowa.com as a resource for students, parents, and teachers to learn more about the opportunities in the highway and underground utility industry. The site also directly links to the AGC Iowa Careers Board where contractors post job openings. In addition, Webuildiowa.com also has an interactive map showing our contractor’s locations across the state. These contractors are looking for people ready to start a high-paying career.

Partnerships

AGC Iowa has partnerships with organizations who focus on finding good paying careers for their constituency. This is a partial list of some of the groups AGC Iowa has worked with:

Iowa National Guard
Iowa Workforce Development/Iowa Dept. of Corrections
Build My Future (Des Moines/ Iowa City)
Evelyn K. Davis Center (Des Moines)
Starts Right Here (Des Moines)
Lutheran Services of Iowa
Iowa Jobs for America’s Graduates (iJAG)
High schools, community colleges, and universities

Activities with these partners include attending and sponsoring career fairs, gathering contractors for specific highway construction career fairs, large and small group presentations on futures in the industry and resources for community-based organizations looking to disseminate resumes or applications on behalf of individuals looking for meaningful careers.
