In 2023, Build California has engaged with over 35,700 students (about twice the seating capacity of Madison Square Garden) through career fairs, student presentations, and industry activations to educate students on career opportunities in construction. We would not have been able to achieve this without the help of our amazing Ambassadors.

Build California Ambassadors are industry professionals who are passionate about educating and supporting the next generation of California’s construction workforce. By sharing their own construction career journey, they help to inspire students and make it possible for Build California to be in many places at once.

Christopher Tiamzon, Community & Citizenship Program Specialist with Turner Construction Company, has been an Ambassador since April 2023 and in that time has attended 6 different career fairs, classroom presentations, and other events in the Southern California region. Recently, we asked Christopher a few questions around his experience in the industry and as a Build California Ambassador. Check out what he had to say below!
