ABC-Virginia has a long history of providing high quality, student-centered learning with an emphasis on hands-on training. Our goal is to give individuals the opportunity to learn a trade, become skilled crafts professionals, earn a good living, and build Virginia.

Through our educational affiliate, National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER), we use Contren, a competency-based, task-driven, and nationally recognized curriculum. ABC-VA instructors are required to complete a formal certification in order to ensure consistent delivery of the curriculum.

The ABC-VA Apprenticeship Training councils represent the participating employers and work with ABC-VA staff to oversee the programs. These councils have shown an unwavering commitment to making certain the programs are on the cutting edge, meeting today’s workplace needs.

National Craft Competition

ABC presents the National Craft Competition (NCC) annually to highlight the achievements of the men and women who represent the future of the construction industry. Craft trainees and apprentices travel from across the country to demonstrate their superior skills, training and safe work practices and compete for top honors in their chosen craft.

For the training sponsors, employers and ABC chapters, the NCC demonstrates a staunch commitment to the career paths the construction industry offers.

Congratulations to our 2023 in-house competition champions!
