ABC Honors Careers in Construction Award Winners

SAN ANTONIO, March 18—Associated Builders and Contractors today announced the winners of the 2022 National Craft Championships and the ABC Construction Management Competition. The winners were honored on the last day of ABC Convention 2022 in San Antonio on March 17.

The 2022 NCC featured more than 175 of the nation’s best carpenters, electricians, pipefitters, plumbers, welders and other construction craft professionals vying for top honors in 15 competitions with skills on display across 12 crafts.

Showcasing the industry’s premier skilled trades profession, NCC recognizes the men and women who are building America and highlights the career opportunities that construction can provide, whether to a graduating high school student seeking an alternative to college, a veteran exploring their next chapter after completing military service or an individual rejoining the workforce or seeking a career change.

The Construction Management Competition is ABC’s hallmark competition promoting careers in construction management. The CMC features teams of four college and university students testing their project management, estimating, safety, quality control and presentation skills.
