General information

America depends on its skilled tradesman – and right now all across the country the construction industry is getting older and smaller. The purpose of Go Build Tennessee is to keep our workforce strong and steady, and that starts by inspiring young people to consider a career in the skilled trades.

Go Build Tennessee is a comprehensive workforce development initiative that seeks to address the current skills gap by enhancing the image of the construction industry and informing students, parents, and educators about opportunities in the trades. Perceptions don’t change overnight, so Go Build deploys its message across a variety of mediums – including TV, print and digital advertising, an engaging website, grassroots outreach, and educator tools such as trade videos, classroom materials and more – to recruit the next generation of skilled workers.
