As you work your way through the beginning of 2024, you may be doing a double take at that list of resolutions: lose weight, eat healthier, floss more. In fact, the most well-intended boss of all time from “The Office” once declared:

While the Builders Guild can’t be the running buddy, it provides significant, and in some cases, life-changing opportunities every year. Moreover, the Builder’s Guild is a great educational resource for the region. If deciding on a career path or even changing the path is a priority, the construction trades offer a rewarding career without having to pay for training. Many people are looking for an alternative to the ever-rising cost of college, while others realize that their current job doesn’t align with their best vision of the future. Consider one of the 16 union trades offering more than 30 training programs.
