Caliber 1 Construction expands internship into year‑round program after Summer 2025 session

Caliber 1 Construction is expanding its Building My Blueprint internship into a year‑round program after hosting a group of nine interns during Summer 2025. The company reported it hosted seven new summer interns and two returning interns this past summer as part of the program, and will now offer ongoing placements to deepen workforce development in commercial construction.

What happened

This summer’s cohort included seven students joining the program for the first time and two interns who returned to continue their development within the company. The returning interns expanded their responsibilities: one broadened her focus to include human resources and administration, while the other continued hands‑on work with field superintendents on active job sites. The program’s move to year‑round will allow more sustained mentorship and project assignments across academic calendars.

Why it matters

The shift to continuous internships is intended to strengthen pathways into construction careers by offering longer, more varied exposure to industry tasks. Since launching in 2016, the Building My Blueprint initiative has hosted more than 40 college students from across the Southeast, providing practical training in areas such as project management, job site coordination, preconstruction planning and project delivery. Interns work beside experienced field experts and project managers and often contribute to municipal centers, educational facilities and retail developments.

Program background and goals

Created in 2016, the internship was designed to move students beyond classroom instruction and into real construction environments. The program emphasizes hands‑on experience in commercial construction, giving students exposure to planning, coordination and the day‑to‑day tasks that keep projects moving. The company says the year‑round expansion reinforces its commitment to workforce development and to preparing the next generation of construction professionals.

Staff and participant development

Returning students in the Summer 2025 session included a university student who added HR and administrative responsibilities to her internship and another who continued field work with superintendents on active sites. Summer interns reported that the program offers regular, meaningful involvement rather than passive observation; participants described daily engagement with tasks and people who support their growth. The company’s leadership framed the expansion as a way to invest more deeply in future industry leaders and to provide more consistent mentorship.

Who can apply

As the program scales, the company is inviting applications from students studying construction management, engineering and business‑related fields. The ongoing model aims to accommodate academic schedules and provide longer learning arcs that can include cross‑departmental rotations.
