Construction is one of the nation's leading industries.
The Council was formed in response to an aging workforce and the sharply rising demand for highly skilled workers to choose a career in construction. The Stearns Scholarship Fund will provide financial assistance to a motivated student pursuing a construction career. J.B. Stearns was a charter member of the Council, known for his flamboyant speaking style. A member of many Vermont trade, education and business organizations, Stearns passed away in August.
