The Construction Combine has become a highly anticipated annual community event, drawing strong support from industry, educators, volunteers, and partners who come together to advance construction skills and meaningful service for local veterans. We are grateful for the strong support and shared commitment that have helped shape this important community initiative.

After careful consideration and consultation with our supporting partners, Idaho State University will not be holding the Construction Combine in 2026. This planned pause allows us to step back, strengthen the program, and prepare for a successful return in 2027. Our commitment to workforce development in the construction trades remains strong, and we look forward to continuing this work together.

Welcome to the Pocatello Construction Combine!

Are you interested in learning basic construction skills, working with local contractors on community projects, or improving your potential to find a job?

Inspired by the NFL draft, the Construction Combine allows trainees to demonstrate their skills and learn new ones. This is a great opportunity to help the Pocatello community by meeting with local contractors and learning their specific construction needs.

This event is one-of-a-kind, where Trainees can learn, Contractors can teach, and Sponsors can help the community grow!

Application to the [year] Construction Combine is [po-registration].

The Combine will take place on [po-date1] from 7:30 am to 5:00 pm at the Home Depot in Chubbuck, ID.

Check Back in 2027 for Additional Updates!
