Dedicated to Creating a Sustainable Building Safety Workforce
In 2022, the Code Council and BTF announced their collaboration to support and strengthen the residential construction and building safety workforce. Since then, the two organizations have partnered to promote careers in construction and better align education and training for emerging professionals.
This year, the Code Council and BTF will be hosting a series of events around the United States to encourage Code Council Chapter Leaders to serve as ambassadors and help in delivering the Code Council’s Safety 2.0 Programs to young professionals.
BTF will also deliver a presentation on workforce development at the Code Council Chapter Leadership Academy in April. Minic will be the featured speaker, reinforcing BTF’s continued commitment to its partnership with the Code Council at the highest level.
