Boston – Suffolk recently held a graduation ceremony at its Boston headquarters for 21 firms that completed its “Build With Us @ Suffolk” program, a four-week business accelerator for trade partners and subcontractors designed to equip minority-, women- and veteran-owned business enterprises (M/W/VBE) with the skills they need to make their unique mark on the construction industry.
Members of the 2024 “Build With Us @ Suffolk” Boston cohort toured the South Station Tower project.
The program’s intensive eight-course curriculum is designed to provide participating businesses with an in-depth understanding of technology, risk management, business development, estimating, and other key construction processes. Program graduates were also paired with Suffolk mentors who will continue to guide them as they join an alumni network of nearly 250 businesses across the country that have completed the program since its launch in 2012.
The Build With Us @ Suffolk program graduates also had the opportunity to tour one of Suffolk’s signature projects in Boston, the 51-story South Station Tower, set to open in 2025.
