We are beyond grateful for all of the support that we received from industry, education, government & economic sectors alike to pull off another successful event this year! It truly takes a village and we couldn't be prouder to serve the very best village around -- St. Louis and the greater St. Louis region! Thank you to any and all who played a part in providing an opportunity for our young people to explore the many amazing and diverse careers available to them in the construction trades. See you in 2027!

Congratulations, Jackson

Last month at Build My Future STL, students from across the region put their skills to the test in the Construction Speed Challenge at Ranken's booth, where they demonstrated speed, precision, and craftsmanship under pressure.

A big congratulations goes to Jackson Hill from South Tech, who posted the fastest time in the competition and took home a DEWALT circular saw for his outstanding performance.

Events like Build My Future give students the opportunity to experience hands-on construction careers in action and showcase the talent coming up in the skilled trades.

We’re proud to support events that highlight the next generation of builders and makers. Congratulations, Jackson!

We loved seeing students from across the region engage with hands-on career exploration at Build My Future STL. Opportunities like this help connect students with the tools, and inspiration, to build their future.

Congratulations, Peter!
