Indiana Building Contractors Alliance Members Provide Training and Middle Class
Careers to Hoosiers
Our contractors are the largest trainer and supplier of skilled workers in the
Indiana construction industry.
The IBCA represents more than 4,000 contractors who choose to employ union
trades workers in Indiana.
IBCA contractors spend more than $42 million in apprenticeship training each
year to ensure Indianas maintains a state of the art, highly trained workforce
(compared to $2 million spent by nonmembers).
Due to this focus, Indiana has become one of the nations fastest growing
markets for nonresidential construction.
The contractors of the IBCA were the first to partner with the state to implement
the Helmets to Hardhats program, which provides advanced entry into training
and jobs in the construction industry for veterans who have already completed
applicable training.
The contractors of the IBCA, through their jointly sponsored training programs,
signed a memorandum of understanding with the Indiana Committee for
Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve. This guarantees that union
contractors will not deny employment because of service in the Guard or
Reserve and that employee job and career opportunities will not be limited or
reduced due to Guard or Reserve service.
A well-trained and fairly paid labor force doesnt have to move around to
find jobs, meaning states with a common construction wage law see a
majority of construction projects completed by local workers almost 91% in
Indiana!
Skilled workers on common construction wage jobs are 15% more productive
than less-skilled workers and are key to our business model. This productivity
enables contractors to do high-quality work quickly and move on to the next
project, keeping us competitive.
Better wages means a stronger and more fairly distributed tax base, helping
policy makers balance budgets without raising taxes on businesses.
