AGC We Build Utah Career Fairs | SUU, WSU, & UVU
2025 Quarter Two
Lifting the Next Generation: Statewide Career Fairs Inspire Future Builders Over 1,200 students participated statewide—our biggest year yet. 40+ COMPANIES
From snow to sun to storms, students showed up—and so did our members.
Despite unpredictable weath- er—snow in Cedar City, clear skies in Ogden, and heavy rain at UVU—students showed up eager to learn, and member companies delivered. Dozens of firms provided equipment, activities, and time to ensure attendees had a chance to explore the trades in a tan- gible way. From driving heavy equipment to operating simu- lators and learning about proj- ect management and safety, students engaged directly with tools and professionals that
brought construction careers to life. This year marked a major step forward in the program’s growth. In 2024, only two events were held. Now with three completed and two more planned for Salt Lake Commu- nity College (SLCC) and Utah Tech University, the initiative is gaining serious momentum. The growing interest from both students and schools under- scores the demand for indus- try-led workforce outreach.

SUU, WSU, & UVU
As workforce development continues to be one of the industry’s most urgent priori- ties, AGC of Utah led the charge this spring with a series of “We Build Utah” Career Fairs aimed at sparking interest and build- ing pathways into construction. Hosted at Utah Valley University (UVU), Weber State University (WSU), and Southern Utah Uni- versity (SUU). These events brought together over 1500 students, educators, and industry professionals for immersive, hands-on experi- ences that showcased the depth and diversity of careers in con- struction.
