Metal Buildings Institute
The MBI is the only source for Metal Building Systems training.
The Metal Buildings Institute (MBI) is an independent, non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, founded by the Metal Building Contractors and Erectors Association in 2001. The goal of the Metal Buildings Institute is to improve the quality of in place metal building construction by providing education and training programs to metal building contractors, erectors and students in construction programs, for the direct benefit of specifiers, designers and owners.
Our focus is on helping you develop a safe, well-trained, skilled workforce!
Apprenticeship
More and more states and projects require contractors to have an approved apprenticeship program in order to be considered or be qualified. The Metal Buildings Institute (MBI) has received Federal recognition of its Guidelines for Apprenticeship, Assembler Pre-Engineered Steel Buildings. Metal building contractors and erectors across the nation are in the process of implementing this exciting new program. Tim Seyler, president of the MBI reports, "participation and enthusiasm for this key training initiative is extremely positive."
Metal Buildings Institute offers a pathway to apprenticeship with National Guidelines recognized and authorized by the US Department of Labor. The program develops loyalty and dependability in employees. Assembler, pre-engineered Steel Building is the job category applicable to Pre-Engineered Steel Building Erection. Although Pre-Engineered Steel Buildings account for almost half of all commercial industrial low rise construction, there has not been a nationally recognized registered apprenticeship program dedicated to their erection until this MBI program.
