Veterans In Construction: Lunch & Learn

August 20, 2026 11:30 AM - 1:00 PM (CDT)

Description


Building Stronger Teams Through Veteran Talent

Join the AGC Houston Veterans in Construction Committee for an engaging Lunch & Learn focused on helping construction companies attract, retain, and develop veteran talent. This informative event will bring together industry leaders, veterans, and workforce development professionals to discuss practical strategies for building stronger, veteran-inclusive workforces.

Through a moderated panel discussion, attendees will gain valuable insights into translating military experience into construction careers, implementing effective recruiting and onboarding practices, improving employee retention, and creating long-term career pathways for veterans. Panelists will also share resources available through veteran-serving organizations and discuss how employers can partner with community organizations to strengthen their hiring pipelines.

Whether you're a business owner, HR professional, hiring manager, superintendent, project manager, or anyone involved in workforce development, you'll leave with actionable ideas you can implement within your organization to better support veteran employees and strengthen your workforce.

What to Expect:

  • Networking with industry professionals and veteran advocates
  • A moderated panel featuring veterans and workforce leaders from construction, human resources, and veteran-serving organizations
  • Practical employer strategies for recruiting, onboarding, and retaining veteran employees
  • Insight into military skill translation and leadership development
  • Information on community resources that support veteran employment
  • An interactive audience Q&A session
  • Actionable takeaways you can implement immediately within your organization

Lunch is included with your registration and will be available during networking prior to the program.

Whether your company is just beginning to hire veterans or is looking to enhance an existing veteran recruitment and retention strategy, this Lunch & Learn offers valuable tools, resources, and connections to help build a stronger construction workforce.


Program Update

If you have already registered for this event, please note that the program has been updated. Due to a change in scheduling, we have transitioned from the originally advertised keynote speaker to a panel discussion featuring respected veterans and workforce leaders from across the construction industry and veteran-serving organizations.

We are excited about this new format, as it will provide attendees with a broader range of perspectives and practical insights on attracting, retaining, and developing veteran talent in the construction industry. The interactive panel will also include an audience Q&A session, giving attendees the opportunity to engage directly with the speakers and ask questions relevant to their organizations.

We appreciate your understanding and look forward to welcoming you to what promises to be an informative and engaging Lunch & Learn.
