NCCER’s Connection Map was created to help connect construction industry members and CTE educators. The map originated from attendees survey responses at NCCER’s 2014 Construction Career Pathways Conference and has grown since then to include voluntary collection of interests by educators (
) and contractors (
) looking to collaborate on meaningful pathways. Also shown are SkillsUSA (
) and ACTE (
) contacts. It is our hope that this map provides you with the resources needed to make meaningful education-to-industry connections in your area.
