Wow, thank you to everyone who registered! While player spots are gone, we still have a few hole sponsorship opportunities left. This is your chance to get your team out on the course and network directly with the players.

We already have 5 General Contractor companies and 9 Specialty Contractors registered, so the networking potential is huge.
Don’t wait—hurry and grab a hole to showcase your business before they’re all gone!

We are incredibly proud to share that a new national case study by the National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER) highlights the massive impact of the SHED competition—a program proudly created and executed statewide by Connect for Success NC.

The case study features the talented construction students from Carteret County Public Schools competing at our Topsail High School SHED event. Seeing our program used as a national model for preparing the next generation of skilled trades professionals is a massive milestone for us.
Congratulations to the outstanding students and educators who bring our SHED events to life. Together, we are changing the landscape of workforce development in North Carolina, one student at a time...

Jeff Flecken from Eastern Randolph High School, your team's SHED has found a new location starting today, and they are thrilled about their new SHED. This program stands out for engaging contractors with students interested in the trades and also serves as an excellent opportunity for educators to learn and receive support.
