Building My Blueprint interns collaborate with supervisors on an active commercial construction site to gain hands‑on experience.
Villa Rica, September 5, 2025
Villa Rica-based Caliber 1 Construction is expanding its Building My Blueprint internship into a year‑round program after hosting seven new interns and two returning students this summer. The change moves the program beyond a short summer cycle to provide continuous mentorship, rotational exposure across project management, site operations, and administrative roles, and sustained hands‑on work on active commercial projects. The program has placed dozens of college students from across the Southeast, pairing interns with project managers and field superintendents. Caliber 1 is accepting applications from students in construction management, engineering, and business fields.
Caliber 1 Construction is converting its summer internship into a year‑round initiative after hosting seven new summer interns and two returning interns during Summer 2025 as part of the Building My Blueprint program. The move is presented as a sustained investment in workforce development and training for future construction professionals.
The company hosted seven new summer interns and two returning interns this year under the Building My Blueprint program. The program, launched in 2016, has served more than 40 college students across the Southeast. The expanded schedule will allow Caliber 1 to provide continuous hands‑on experience in areas such as project management, job site coordination and whole‑project delivery.
Building My Blueprint began in 2016 as a seasonal internship connecting students with practical construction work. Since then the program has welcomed over 40 college students from a variety of institutions across the Southeast. Over the summer of 2025, seven students entered the program for the first time while two previous interns returned for further development within the company.
The internship is built to give students practical exposure to commercial construction from preconstruction planning through project delivery. Interns work alongside experienced field staff and project managers on active builds. Typical assignments involve site coordination, assisting in project scheduling, attending on‑site safety and planning meetings, and contributing to work on municipal centers, educational facilities and retail developments.
Two returning interns continued their development with Caliber 1 during Summer 2025. One returning student broadened responsibilities to include human resources and administrative work, gaining insight into the people and office side of construction business operations. Another returning student continued working closely with field superintendents, deepening experience in day‑to‑day site supervision and coordination.
The company says the program was developed to move students beyond classroom study and into active field work. Expanding Building My Blueprint to year‑round operation is described as a way to deepen investment in training and to help develop future industry leaders by offering a wider range of practical learning opportunities throughout the academic year.
Caliber 1 Construction is based in Villa Rica and recently marked its 20th anniversary. The firm now plans to accept applications on a rolling basis from students studying construction management, engineering and business‑related fields. Interested applicants are directed to the company’s internship page for more information and application instructions at caliber1construction.com/caliber-1-construction-internships.
Interns reported the program offered active, hands‑on learning rather than passive observation. They described day‑to‑day involvement on live projects and noted that staff engagement and mentorship were important parts of the learning experience. The structure is intended to give realistic exposure to the workflows, safety practices and collaborative environment of commercial construction sites.
Moving to year‑round internships allows the program to accommodate students on varied academic schedules, provide longer mentorship windows, and place interns on projects during different phases of construction. The intent is to strengthen pathways from college programs into construction careers while giving employers access to more consistently trained entry‑level talent.
Students in construction management, engineering and business programs are invited to learn more and apply online at the company’s internship page. The program materials outline eligibility, expected duties, and typical time commitments for seasonal and year‑round placements.
