FOR TEACHERS AND COUNSELORS

Built for career exploration units, CTE classrooms, advisory periods, and career days. Students can work at their own pace and revisit any trade that interests them, making the game easy to use as a station or full-period activity.

No account is required, and no player data is collected. Students earn a Certificate that can serve as evidence of completion. A companion lesson plan is also available for educators who want a more structured classroom experience.

BUILT WITH THE INDUSTRY

Future Road Builders was developed with the Constructors Association of Western Pennsylvania (CAWP), which has represented western Pennsylvania’s heavy and highway construction industry since 1934. CAWP’s industry experience and relationships with contractors and trade unions helped shape the careers, tasks, and wage information presented in the game. Players finish knowing how to take the next step toward a real apprenticeship.
