Build Strong Academy- Chief Executive Officer Job at Oakwood Homes LLC

Oakwood Homes LLC Denver, CO 80249

Chief Executive Officer


Who we are

The vision of BuildStrong Academy is to equip one million workforce ready, certified trade professionals, help them obtain a living wage job in construction, and strengthen the construction industry by expanding into 20 markets across our nation by 2035. Our passion for improving the lives of our students and their families is a core driver to this vision. We believe that by changing their lives, we can also have a further reaching effect on housing affordability and overall socio-economic development.

The opportunity: The construction industry is facing a workforce crisis. A lack of skilled construction labor is a key limiting factor for improving housing inventory and affordability.

According to the Home Builders Institute’s Fall 2021 Construction Labor Market Report, the number of open construction sector jobs currently averages between 300,000 to 400,000 each month nationally and the construction industry needs more than 61,000 new hires every month to keep up with both industry growth and the loss of workers either through retirement or simply leaving the sector.

Where are we now? The Academy model has been designed based on the learning from the

Colorado Homebuilding Academy (CHA) which opened in 2017, now known as BuildStrong Academy of Colorado. We have begun careful adaptation of this model as we launched operations in Orlando and in Greater New Orleans in 2022. The BuildStrong team is planning to open new academies in Charlotte, Houston, Jacksonville and Sacramento in the near future.
