The Rising Contractors program, an innovative initiative launched by Gilbane, empowers small and diverse-owned construction companies to reach new heights. For example, 16 firms in Cleveland, Columbus, and Pittsburgh are currently enrolled with Gilbane in this transformative 12-week program aimed at boosting their skills, expanding their networks, and elevating their businesses. Tailored for minority-owned, women-owned, disadvantaged, LGBTQ, and veteran-owned contractors, the program provides hands-on training in industry best practices, mentoring from Gilbane experts, and insights into successfully bidding on and managing construction projects. Since its launch in 2020, over 245 companies have graduated from Rising Contractors, gaining the knowledge and confidence to compete for more contracts both with Gilbane and across the industry. Looking ahead, Gilbane has pledged to award $100 million in contracts to program graduates by 2026, part of our broader commitment to generate $4 billion in awards to underrepresented firms over the next five years, including veteran, minority, and women-owned businesses. By investing in the capacity building of minority firms, Gilbane is demonstrating its commitment to creating a more equitable and inclusive construction industry. Join us in celebrating these rising stars!
