Workforce Development
Building the future of the construction industry in the River Region through training, education, and community partnerships.
River Region Home Building Academy
The River Region Home Building Academy (RRHBA) is a nonprofit organization currently being established to provide hands-on, short-term training opportunities for individuals interested in pursuing careers within the residential construction industry.
We are actively working with local municipalities, industry partners, and community leaders throughout the River Region to develop the academy and create workforce training opportunities that will support the future of the construction industry in our area.
The academy’s mission is to connect students and future trades professionals with meaningful career pathways in home building, construction, and related skilled trades.
Coming Soon
Additional details regarding student enrollment, employer partnerships, and training opportunities will be announced as development progresses.
If you are interested in participating, partnering, supporting, or donating to help establish the River Region Home Building Academy, please contact us for more information.
We look forward to building stronger communities and creating new workforce opportunities across the River Region.
