BUILT NoCo Hosts Student Construction Field Trip at Fort Collins Bloom Community on May 2
Fort Collins, CO – BUILT NoCo, in partnership with Hartford Homes, Alpine Lumber, NoCo HBA, and Careers in Construction Colorado, is proud to host a Construction Field Trip on May 2, 2025, at the Bloom Community in Fort Collins. The event offers local high school students participating in the HomeBuilders Institute (HBI) curriculum a hands-on opportunity to explore the construction industry and learn directly from professionals on an active residential job site.
Students will take part in guided tours, ask questions, and gain insight into how homes are built—from foundation to framing. The event is designed to introduce students to the wide range of careers available in construction and help them visualize potential pathways after graduation.
“Students gain more than a tour—they gain perspective,” said Jen Bray, Director of Workforce Development at BUILT NoCo. “Seeing a jobsite in action helps them connect the dots between education, skills, and real careers that build our communities.”
