Over 1 million craft professionals are needed in the next 4 years. 

Sheridan Construction believes in providing exposure to young people everywhere so they can begin to consider training for skilled trades.

Sheridan Construction provides ongoing industry support to area high school construction education programs.

We regularly invite students to visit our job sites. This gives the students an opportunity to see an active construction project and time to interact with our project managers, job superintendents, and trade contractors in the field.

As part of our fundraising efforts in partnership with the AGC, we make financial contributions to area high school construction programs to aid them in purchasing supplies and materials for student projects.

In addition to financial contributions, we regularly donate extra materials such as bricks and lumber to local high school construction programs to further support their students in developing much-needed industry trade skills.

Requests for job site tours and other workforce development questions can be directed to info@sheridanconstruction.com.

Sheridan Construction is proud to support the Central Georgia T.E.S.T (Technology, Engineering and Skilled Trades) Academy.

The T.E.S.T. Academy is a three-day 18-hour academy that seeks to expose young adults to different aspects of the skilled trades and engineering industries. Through a partnership with industry experts, these young adults participate in hands-on activities focused on the many responsibilities of Architects, Design Engineers, Electricians/Technicians, Construction Workers, General and Building Contractors, and HVAC Technicians and Plumbers.

There is a general concern among trade professionals that Central Georgia lacks a pool of qualified talent available to join these specific industries.

Nearly 600 Central Georgia students have indicated an interest in some type of engineering and/or skilled trades profession. Data also suggests that jobs such as Electrical Engineering, Electrician Contracting, HVAC Contracting, Construction, Carpentry, and Design Engineering are among the most popular career interests. The T.E.S.T. Academy hopes to bridge the gap by connecting these industry employers with work-ready employees in the Central Georgia area.
