Construction Career Collaborative

🎅🎁 Houston construction, are you up for a Secret Santa?

We’re thinking about trying something a little different this holiday season!

C3 is exploring an Industry-Wide Secret Santa Networking Dinner where you’ll be matched with someone outside your company and usual professional circle and then come together for dinner, networking, and a gift exchange.

The goal? Meet someone new. Make a connection you might not have made otherwise. And have a little holiday fun while we’re at it.

Bring your coworkers. Just don’t expect to sit with them. 😉

We’re looking at the week of December 7, but we need to know there’s enough interest before we make it official.

This isn't registration and you're not committing to anything yet. We just want to know: Would you join us?

🎁 Tell us here:

Take the C3 Industry Secret Santa Interest Survey at https://c3.jotform.com/form/c3-industry-secret-santa

And tag the construction friends you’d convince to participate! 🎄

⛳ Nine Industry Sponsors and counting!

We’re grateful to the nine companies that have already stepped up as Industry Sponsors for C3’s 16th Annual Golf Classic on October 19 at BlackHorse Golf Club.

Their support is about more than a day on the golf course. Every sponsorship helps C3 continue our work to strengthen a safe, skilled, and sustainable craft workforce through training, safety education, leadership development, career opportunities, and industry partnerships.

Thank you to each of our Industry Sponsors for investing in the people who build our industry. We’re proud to have you on the course with us! 👏

And we’re not finished yet. There’s still time for your company to join them. Golf registrations and sponsorship opportunities are still available.

⛳ Play. Sponsor. Support the workforce.

A big moment for C3 and construction careers in Houston! 🏗️⚽

Yesterday, we were honored to serve as the Nonprofit of the Match during Saturday’s Houston Dynamo FC game at Shell Energy Stadium.

Seeing C3 on the big screen gave us an incredible opportunity to introduce thousands of fans to our mission and the work happening to connect people with construction training, employment, and lasting career pathways.

Our team also spent the evening meeting guests, sharing ways to get involved, and encouraging our community to help build the future of Houston’s construction workforce.

Thank you to Houston Dynamo FC for giving C3 this platform, and to our staff, volunteers, sponsors, industry partners, and guests who helped make Construction Industry Night possible.

This was our time to shine as representatives of Houston’s construction community, and we were proud to see our industry and mission take center stage.

Stay tuned for photos and highlights from the pre-match hiring event, where job seekers connected directly with seven construction companies offering multiple employment opportunities.
