Home Builders Institute Helps Train More Than 20,000 Students in 2025

In 2025, the organization enrolled and awarded pre-apprenticeship certificates to over 20,000 students, added more than 40 new schools to its Future Builders of America program, and brought HBI-licensed curriculum to dozens more community organizations.

It is very scary to see the state that the construction market is in right now. All of our infrastructure and livelihoods rely on the people working in the trades. With how close we live to the world of construction we have a little more insight into how things are operating. There are a lot of things holding the market back, beyond just skilled labor, although that is a large one. The ripple effects are huge, and it can be really interesting to see breakdowns of the domino effect of what has caused this or that. However, seeing that there are people working to make sure we get back on track is relieving. I am glad that people are being offered training so that we can fill those positions. I can't help but wonder if the scarcity of workers will affect pay offerings, and if that will wander into our world at all. I think it's pretty unlikely, but a guy can hope.
