Phoenix, AZ (September 29, 2026) -- Arcoro, a provider of time tracking and HR software for construction and specialty trades, is excited to celebrate the achievement of our partner, AGC of Kansas, on being awarded the 2026 Chapter Workforce Development Award from AGC National for its Build Up Kansas program.

“A big thank you goes out to the great team effort and vision to address the number one issue impacting business and industry - workforce,” said AGC of Kansas Executive Vice President Mike Gibson. “This great team effort and vision by the AGC of Kansas Board, the AGC and Build Up Kansas staff and our great industry partners like, NCCER, Arcoro, WTS, and Brush Marketing. that made all of this great workforce development possible.”

AGC of Kansas developed the program to help offset rising construction workforce shortages by growing the pipeline of new workers. As an Arcoro customer, AGC of Kansas has access to recruiting tools that have been instrumental for the Build Up Kansas program, like access to construction job boards.

“Arcoro deeply values our relationship with AGC of Kansas and the opportunity to support the important work they’re doing to strengthen the construction workforce,” said Carrie Gardenhire, Director of Partner Marketing at Arcoro. “Our partnership is about more than technology - it’s about working together to understand the workforce challenges contractors face and helping them build stronger teams through HR technology, industry collaboration and innovative workforce solutions. We’re proud to be part of Build Up Kansas and thrilled to see AGC of Kansas receive this well-deserved national recognition.”

AGC of Kansas has also partnered with state leaders in the governor’s office and legislature with strong bipartisan support to develop a network of career and technical education (CTE) and vocational programs in Kansas high schools, community college and vo-tech colleges. Kansas is now the leading state in the country for CTE/Vocational programming with over 10,000 students in trade programs.
