School Site Programs

Build Up! & On Site!

CIAP of NJ in partnership with the Associated General Contractors (AGC) and Let Me Learn, Inc., offers two school site programs developed for the elementary and secondary levels. These Tool Kits, Build Up! and On Site, were designed and produced by the AGC and Scholastic to encourage exploration of the construction industry and all the exciting careers that are available.

Both kits are adaptable with New Jersey core curriculum and provide numerous activities and lesson plans for specific age groups and grades.
