Who we are

We, the Pennsylvania Builders Association (PBA), are committed to a viable, high-quality construction industry and the workforce to support it. We collaborate with schools throughout PA to provide students with industry-recognized certification to strengthen their skills and qualifications.

The hardworking businesses in our industry need access to dedicated, knowledgeable employees. By creating a network of ties between PBA members, local student chapters and the community, we are able to provide a level of assurance that students completing their training have received the instruction they need to begin a successful career.

The PBA Endorsement Program has provided an opportunity for our students to become more involved in the construction industry. Through guest speakers, attending trade shows and workshops, and earning the PBA certification, our students' educational experience has been greatly enriched."
-Robert E. Lees, Ed.D. Berks Career and Technology Center
