A history of commitment to trades education
BIAW has awarded over $670,000 in scholarships and grants to students who have demonstrated commitment to careers in the home building industry and the programs that educate them.
Trades education pays off
The Washington Workforce Training and Education Coordinating Board reports in Washington, every dollar spent on secondary CTE students leads to $26 in lifetime earnings and employee benefits.
According to the Association for Career and Technical Education, construction is one of the top 5 industries for “good jobs” that pay a median income of $55,000+ without a bachelor’s degree.
