Those that prove their dedication to social responsibility with a "green" contractor accreditation stand out above others. This certification is a way to make you more competitive in the marketplace. You’re probably familiar with green building standards. But what exactly does it take to be a certified “green” contractor? If you’re already an active member of the construction industry, you can earn the following three LEED-certified accreditations: LEED Green Associate, the first step to becoming a fully accredited contractor; LEED Accredited Professional (AP) + Specialty, the next step in specializing with even more education to lead teams in green initiatives; and LEED Fellow, the third and most advanced accreditation. Those interested in becoming a LEED Fellow must first have 10 years of industry experience and then be nominated by his or her peers. #LEED #greenconstruction #energy #ibuildamericaohio #ibuildamerica #thanksforbuilding
"Seeking to increase productivity and improve safety, contractors have begun trying exoskeletons...mechanical, robotic frames to help with lifting and holding tools overhead, aiding but not replacing human workers. Exoskeletons are considered a safety device, like hard hats and gloves and harnesses...It also improves the quality of the work." Article excerpt and photo from "Suit Up: Contractors find Super Powers with Exoskeletons" in Contractor magazine from AGC, The Construction Association. What do you think of incorporating these types of devices into the #construction industry? #CareersinConstruction #constructiontechnology #ibuildamericaohio #ibuildamerica #thanksforbuilding

As a parent, you want the best for your child—a secure future that offers them growth, financial stability, and an opportunity to be the best version of themselves. For many students, the path to a career includes a traditional, four-year degree. For other students, this path is not a great fit. If you feel like your child would not thrive in a degree program or would be better suited in a more hands-on profession, we encourage you to discuss #CareersinConstruction with your child. #ibuildamericaohio #ibuildamerica #BuildYourFuture #thanksforbuilding #construction #education #thetrades

"Although initial mindsets suggested that the human workforce should be wary of developing tech, it appears that automation will help rather than hinder the construction industry," says Small Business Growth Partners. Developments in robotics and machine learning will increase safety standards and aid workflow, rather than just replace human hands. These technologies are designed to work alongside real people and eliminate redundant tasks to make work more efficient. As an added bonus, the advancements are sure to help draw younger generations interested in tech and #robotics to the industry, boosting the workforce. #ibuildamericaohio #ibuildamerica #CareersinConstruction #drones
