Program Overview
Construction Career Collaborative is pleased to offer the EMERGE Program, which is purposed to assist and recognize emergent contractors in the Greater Houston Metropolitan Area. Emergent Contractors must be able to balance profit generation along with managing project needs with talent that is safe, skilled, and engaged. The workforce crisis in construction requires all contractors to "up their game" in order to compete for top talent. The EMERGE program will provide commercial construction companies that are currently less competitive based on pay practices, training and development programs, and understanding of the impact of talent management, the skill sets necessary to propel them forward towards greater competitiveness.
