North State Building Industry Foundation

The North State Building Industry Foundation (NSBIF) was formed in 2008 as a closely held charitable arm of the North State Building Industry Association (BIA) to address the workforce needs of the homebuilding industry and to provide job placement services to those individuals who found themselves out of work during the economic downturn.

Over the past ten years, NSBIF has worked with construction industry employers and training organizations to:
- Provide internship and career exploration opportunities to youth and young adults aged 16-24
- Promote construction careers and employment opportunities to students, parents, educators, and people seeking meaningful well paid work and career opportunities
- Develop programs, curriculum, and certifications to increase the number of qualified entry level applicants
- Match employers and qualified applicants and interns through a job placement portal, sponsoring/attending job fairs, and hosting matching events
- Provide work skills training services to special populations including but not limited to at-risk and other youth ages 16-24, low income individuals, veterans, ex-offenders, refugees, and unemployed people
