AGC of East Tennessee Explores Relocation, New Career Center

5/7/2019

 
Across the board, members have resolutely expressed that building a better pipeline of good people into construction is critical for the industry and your businesses, and so we are preparing for big, bold moves to make that happen with these goals in mind:

  • Increase the quantity and quality of our workforce
  • Create better awareness of career paths and opportunities in construction
  • Enhance the perception of construction across the region
 
Our plan is to relocate our AGC office to a much larger space that will allow us to open an attached regional construction career and training center with experiential training, continuing education classroom instruction, a technology center, safety training, job placement coordination, and remote meeting and event space for our members.   
 
AGC of East Tennessee has been leading an initiative with Hamilton County Schools, TCAT, Chatt State, The Chamber, the City, and other groups across the region to explore and develop this ambitious plan.  We are being careful not to duplicate good efforts already working but rather fill gaps and deficiencies to create a more alignment and cohesion among our workforce partners.
 
Fortunately for us, past AGC leaders have been savvy stewards of chapter resources, and now is the time to put those resources in action to invest in our members.  Our current office building is in a high growth area with prime real estate value.  By leveraging the sale of our facility and identifying other funding sources, our intent is to build a state-of-the-art, career-focused space like no other in the region.  A new location has not been confirmed yet.  Ideally we would like to have 30,000 sf of building space plus parking, so if you know of some land or raw space that fits the bill, please let us know!
