PBA's Endorsed Trade Program

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.
