Careers in Construction Golf Tournament

The Mountain States Leadership Council is proud to host its annual summer golf tournament benefiting Careers In Construction Colorado (CICC), an initiative focused on helping students discover rewarding career opportunities in the skilled trades and construction industry.

According to the YouScience Post-Graduation Readiness Report, 72% of students report feeling only moderately, slightly, or not at all prepared for life after high school. Additionally, 77% say they would have been more engaged in school if they had a better understanding of their strengths and career opportunities.

At Careers In Construction Colorado (CICC), our mission is to help students identify meaningful career pathways before graduation. We believe every student should leave high school with real-world employability skills, industry exposure, and confidence in their future.

Through strong partnerships between schools, industry leaders, and community supporters, CICC bridges the gap between the classroom and the workforce. Every student enrolled, certification earned, and career launched is made possible through the collective investment of partners and funders who believe in the value of construction education.

In addition to expanding awareness of trade careers through outreach and industry engagement, CICC continues to grow partnerships with school districts, contractors, suppliers, distributors, and construction professionals across Colorado. Together, we are building a stronger workforce pipeline that creates opportunities for students while supporting the future of the construction industry.
