Gear Up for YP Week to Support the Next Generation of Builders
NAHB is celebrating Young Professionals Week Oct. 10-14 to provide young home building professionals opportunities to connect, collaborate and develop professionally.
NAHB’s annual YP Week gives members and HBAs the opportunity to showcase their local groups dedicated to young professionals in home building. Young residential construction professionals can learn more about how to engage with their peers at the local level.
During YP Week 2022, NAHB will be highlighting the resources and networking opportunities created by the national office. Young home building professionals can engage virtually in different places, such as the NAHB YP Facebook group or on NAHB Connect.
For more information on YP Week activities and themes, see the flyer.
YP Week will also feature a series of shop talks designed to engage young professionals and provide educational opportunities to deal with pressing current issues. Register for these free sessions at the links below:
