Field-informed. Industry-driven. Built on what's actually working.
Thank you to everyone who contributed time and perspective. The report is anticipated in November 2026. Sign up below to hear when it is available.
The Georgia Construction Talent Study focuses on the people and experiences shaping construction’s workforce in Georgia. It brings field perspectives into the conversation about career awareness, training pathways, and the industry’s role in developing its future workforce.
The study was designed to capture insight from the people closest to the work — educators, contractors, trade associations, training providers, and parents — to understand what strategies are successfully attracting the next generation into construction careers.
This isn't a government report or an academic exercise. It's a ground-level look at what's actually happening in Georgia classrooms, jobsites, and apprenticeship programs.
Across Georgia, educators and contractors are doing incredible work connecting students to construction careers. Those stories deserve to be told.
The most effective approaches are rarely the loudest. This study is designed to surface what's working at the ground level.
When educators, contractors, and trade organizations are working from the same picture, the pipeline strengthens. This study helps build that shared picture.
The findings are only as strong as the people who shared their perspective. Thank you to everyone in the field, in the classroom, and leading organizations who took part.
CTAE teachers, school counselors, work-based learning coordinators, and career pathway leaders who are connecting students to construction every day.
