Caliber 1 Construction expands its Building My Blueprint internship to year‑round after hosting nine interns in Summer 2025
Villa Rica-based Caliber 1 Construction is transforming its long-running internship into a year‑round program after hosting seven new summer interns and two returning students during Summer 2025. The expansion is being positioned as a renewed commitment to workforce development and to preparing the next generation of construction professionals.
What happened (most important details)
This summer Caliber 1 hosted seven interns from multiple university programs and welcomed back two returning interns who stayed on to deepen their experience within the company. The move to a year‑round structure follows two decades of company growth and a desire to provide more continuous mentoring and on‑the‑job learning.
Program purpose and scope
Launched in 2016, Building My Blueprint has brought in more than 40 college students from across the Southeast. The program is designed to give practical exposure to commercial construction, covering the process from preconstruction planning through project delivery. Interns work side by side with seasoned field experts and project managers and often contribute to municipal centers, educational facilities, and retail developments.
How the year‑round plan changes things
Caliber 1 says moving to a year‑round model will allow the company to invest more deeply in developing future leaders. The expanded schedule means internships will no longer be limited to a single concentrated summer period, enabling students in construction management, engineering, and business‑related fields to gain steady, layered experience alongside active projects and field superintendents.
Who returned and what they did
Two returning interns from Summer 2025 continued their development with the company: one extended responsibilities to include human resources and administrative support, while the other continued hands‑on work with field superintendents to learn day‑to‑day site coordination and trade management.
Student perspective and training
Interns reported that the program emphasizes active involvement over passive observation, giving them daily, hands‑on work that accelerates learning. The internship’s structure puts students inside real project workflows so they can see how decisions are made, how schedules are coordinated, and how teams solve problems on site.
Company background and recruitment
Caliber 1 is based in Villa Rica and recently marked its 20th anniversary. As the internship moves to a year‑round model, the company is inviting applications from students studying construction management, engineering, and business subjects.
