The room is full, the conversations are engaging, and the learning is underway at today’s Indiana Chapter American Concrete Institute Concrete Talks event!

A special thank you to Amy Dowell with the American Concrete Institute (ACI) National for sharing her expertise on “ACI Reference Specifications: Unraveling Concrete Specs.” Events like these continue to strengthen the connection between engineers, contractors, producers, inspectors, and industry professionals who are committed to advancing concrete construction throughout Indiana.

One of the greatest strengths of our industry is the willingness to share knowledge. Every discussion, question, and idea exchanged today helps build a stronger concrete community and ultimately leads to better projects, better outcomes, and a better future for our profession.

Thank you to everyone who took time out of their busy schedules to join us at American Structurepoint. The enthusiasm and engagement in the room are a testament to the dedication of the professionals who make our industry thrive.

Building the Builders of Tomorrow

Today, the Indiana Chapter - American Concrete Institute partnered with Work IN Roads for another outstanding Concrete Sandbox Day, but this one was especially meaningful because the participants were the educators who help shape the future workforce.

By providing hands on concrete experiences and direct access to industry professionals, we are equipping teachers with the knowledge, resources, and confidence to introduce students to the rewarding careers available in the skilled trades. From placing and finishing concrete to learning about career pathways, certifications, and industry opportunities, today’s event connected education with real-world experiences.

The future of our industry depends on strong partnerships between schools and industry leaders. When teachers understand the opportunities available in construction, they become powerful advocates for students who may thrive in a hands-on learning environment and build successful, fulfilling careers in the trades.

A special thank you to all of the educators who invested their time today, as well as the volunteers, industry partners, and supporters who continue to make these programs possible. Together, we are building a stronger workforce, creating opportunities for the next generation, and showing students that the trades offer more than just a job—they offer a career, a purpose, and a chance to leave a lasting impact on the world around them.

One concrete slab at a time, we’re building pathways to success for Indiana’s future workforce.

Today’s Indiana Chapter of the American Concrete Institute / Work IN Roads Concrete Sandbox Day with Skilled US was another powerful reminder of what the future of the skilled trades looks like.

Watching these students step into the world of concrete construction with energy, curiosity, and pride reinforces why programs like this matter so much. From learning proper place-and-finish techniques to understanding the teamwork, precision, and discipline it takes to succeed in this industry, these young men and women gained real hands-on experience that can shape future careers.

The concrete industry is built by people willing to work hard, learn a craft, and take pride in creating something lasting. Today, we saw exactly that.

A huge thank you to all of the instructors, volunteers, contractors, and industry partners who continue investing their time and knowledge into the next generation of skilled trades professionals. Opportunities like these do more than teach concrete they build confidence, purpose, and pathways to successful futures.

The future is bright, and the next generation is ready to work.

Great things happen when passion for the industry meets purpose.

Today, Indiana Chapter of the American Concrete Institute President Garrett Berger and Work IN Roads Talent Development Director Eric Fisher took the stage to share the impact of our Concrete Sandbox Days and the ICACI Trowel Rodeo sponsored by Multiquip Inc., two initiatives that are helping shape the future of the concrete and horizontal construction industry.

From introducing high school students to hands-on experiences, to celebrating the craftsmanship and pride of today’s finishers, these programs are building more than concrete, they’re building careers, confidence, and community.

A sincere thank you to the American Concrete Institute (ACI) for their continued support and commitment to advancing education, workforce development, and excellence across our industry. Your partnership helps make these opportunities possible.

Together, we’re not just preparing the next generation, we’re strengthening the foundation of our industry.
