The North State Building Industry Foundation (NSBIF) was formed in 2008 as a closely held charitable arm of the North State Building Industry Association (BIA) to address the workforce needs of the homebuilding industry and to provide job placement services to those individuals who found themselves out of work during the economic downturn.
Over the past ten years, NSBIF has worked with construction industry employers and training organizations to:
- Provide internship and career exploration opportunities to youth and young adults aged 16-24
- Promote construction careers and employment opportunities to students, parents, educators, and people seeking meaningful well paid work and career opportunities
- Develop programs, curriculum, and certifications to increase the number of qualified entry level applicants
- Match employers and qualified applicants and interns through a job placement portal, sponsoring/attending job fairs, and hosting matching events
- Provide work skills training services to special populations including but not limited to at-risk and other youth ages 16-24, low income individuals, veterans, ex-offenders, refugees, and unemployed people
Our mission is to create a future-ready workforce for the industry through training, upskilling, and placement for job seekers and current building industry professionals.
Approximately 75% of our participants come from low income backgrounds, you can help us build tomorrow's workforce by using the following guidelines below to support our needs.
$50 - provides work boots
$50 - provides a gas card
$150 - helps provide a student with an education
$100 - provides work boots and a toolbelt
BCF seeks donations to assist with training programs for youth in our communities assisting them with work readiness skills and training in the construction industry through internships and job placement.
We need funds to provide supportive services to our participants from low income backgrounds (gas cards, food cards, clothing, transportation assistance, drivers license training, etc.)
Operationally, we need to expand our technology to better serve our members and provide more secure access to send information to our staff.
