Together We Build

    NEFBA/Together We Build

    Laying the Foundation for the Industry’s Future

    In January 2025, NEFBA purchased the new Workforce Development Center—a state-of-the-art facility that will become home to NEFBA’s Apprenticeship Program and offices in 2026.

    Designed to serve as a regional hub for innovation, education, and connection, the Center will expand training capacity to 600 apprentices by 2028 through enhanced programs and employer partnerships.

    By investing in this initiative, you help create opportunity, foster innovation, and ensure Northeast Florida continues to lead the way in skilled trades.

    Together, we build the foundation for what’s next.

    The Workforce Development Center is more than a building—it’s a promise to our community and the next generation of builders. Here, apprentices will gain the hands-on experience, mentorship, and technology-driven resources needed to sustain our region’s growth and strengthen the construction industry for years to come.

    Together, We Build Opportunity

    Behind every great build are the skilled hands that bring it to life. The Workforce Development Center will give those hands a place to learn, grow, and thrive.

    Through the generosity of community partners, donors, and industry leaders, we’re creating a lasting legacy of skilled craftsmanship—expanding NEFBA’s reach, upgrading facilities, and ensuring every aspiring tradesperson has access to hands-on, debt-free training that leads to lifelong opportunity.

    There are two meaningful ways to invest in this transformative initiative: by joining us as a campaign partner or selecting a naming opportunity that reflects your commitment to the future of our workforce.
