Our programs prepare men and women for a high-earning career in construction, no matter their age or life circumstances.
About us
At Construction Ready, we believe the skilled trades should be just as celebrated as careers requiring a four-year degree. That’s why we train people for great-paying, entry-level construction jobs — so they can earn a comfortable living, do work they enjoy, and build fulfilling careers without the burden of student loan debt. We’re a 501(c)3 non-profit organization created in 1993 as the Construction Education Foundation of Georgia (CEFGA). In 2022, we became Construction Ready, a name taken from our flagship construction training program. Our organization came together when leading construction industry leaders recognized a need for quality construction skills training in Georgia. Skilled labor was then — and remains now — a primary need in the construction industry.

Check out this success story on West Laurens High School graduate Brock Wynne from Kiewit Foundations’ “The Dirt” newsletter. Brock, who joined Kiewit after studying construction management at Georgia Southern University, advises young professionals to “find the thing that drives you and keep the goal in sight. Don't give up at the first sign of opposition; dig your heels in and push through.” We wish Brock the best as he continues his construction career! #constructionready #constructioneducation #constructioncareers #skilledtrades #successstories
