Construction & Maintenance
Construction is everywhere in Texas, from new homes and commercial development to the infrastructure supporting the state's growing communities.
But the industry needs a new generation to build what comes next. With 40% of the construction workforce expected to retire by 2031, TSTC is preparing students with the technical skills, industry credentials, and jobsite experience employers are looking for.
The future of the industry
TSTC's training meets this demand
Training for the Modern Jobsite
TSTC works directly with employers to understand what graduates need to know. Building Construction students develop skills in project management and blueprint reading while earning industry-recognized credentials employers value.
Learning Beyond the Classroom
Students build structures, operate equipment, and visit active jobsites where industry professionals show them how the work gets done. The goal is to enter the workforce already familiar with the expectations of a construction environment.
Expanding Where Texas Needs Workers
TSTC is expanding construction training as communities grow and employers need more skilled workers. In 2026, Building Construction expanded to Fort Bend County specifically in response to regional workforce demand.
