Future Builders of America (FBA) is an HBI after school program in Florida that introduces construction career opportunities to secondary school students and other youth in the state up to 25 years of age. The mission of FBA is to engage young students in trades education and activities that will encourage them to pursue rewarding careers in construction and help them develop leadership skills critical to the residential building industry. FBA links students in area schools with the local building community, including home builder associations. Students in the FBA program are also exposed to field trips to building sites, opportunities for summer and post-graduation employment, and industry guest speaker engagements.
