About Us

What is Contractor Academy?

Contractor Academy is a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to providing affordable training for small businesses in the A/E/C Industry. Our training leaders are volunteers from some of the most respected A/E/C firms in the Rocky Mountain Region.

Contractor Academy plans, implements, and executes educational and professional development programming. Contractor Academy collaborates with Hispanic Contractors of Colorado (HCC) as a partner organization. 

Classes are structured to give attendees the opportunity to interact with other class members and the industry leading presenters. Contractor Academy classes are designed to help participants learn and build long-lasting relationships with like-minded industry professionals.

Imagine walking into a class with attorneys from top law firms, ready to give you valuable information to help make your business a success. For two hours you get the chance to discuss critical topics that can apply to your firm – whether it’s size of service. There is no other professional training like this in Colorado.

Our Mission

Contractor Academy is delivering impactful education of best practices for individuals and companies in the construction industry to create enhanced industry relations, increased opportunities and sustainable growth.

Our Goals:

  • Increase your business development efforts
  • Grow the pool of qualified local, small and diverse businesses
  • Provide you access to leading industry partners
  • Improve the visibility of small and diverse firms

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

We are dedicated to supporting the diversity of the construction community.

Contractor Academy recognizes and understands the value of people – our community can accomplish great things when we coalesce to support a climate of respect grounded in equitable, diverse, and inclusive practices. We strictly prohibit and will not tolerate discrimination against or harassment of employees, volunteers, interns, vendors, contractors, or any other person by anyone connected to or associated with Contractor Academy because of such person’s race, ethnicity, creed, color, age, ancestry, sex, marital status, religion, national origin, ancestry, medical condition, veteran status, military status, marital status, gender identify or expression, sexual orientation, transgender status, and political service, affiliation or disability.  This anti-discrimination or anti-harassment policy  has been and will continue to be communicated to all who participate with Contractor Academy, including our donors, staff, Board, and volunteers.

"The Scaling Program provided a unique opportunity to learn from successful entrepreneurs, investors, and thought leaders. The small cohort allowed for relationships to develop, facilitating even deeper dives into our subject matter outside of formal sessions. The ideas and insights I gained from this program will have a lasting impact on my business. I'm grateful to have been a part of the Scaling Program, and I believe every budding entrepreneur or seasoned business owner should consider applying to be part of it."

"Contractor Academy was a wonderful blessing. I had been looking for a class to take, specific to construction, but was having difficulty finding one. I received an invitation from Jeff Anker (Saunders) to look into the classes taught by HCC Contractor Academy. Fantastic! It was everything I was looking for… and received the Business Development Certificate. I am sending my foreman to the next contractor classes…"

"I have met and made friends with many people across the Construction Industry, both on a personal and professional level. Professionally, I have enjoyed many new business development opportunities with top quality, professional and sought after businesses and General Contractors. On a personal level, I thoroughly value the friendships I have developed as well as the social atmosphere that surrounds our HCC meetings/dinners."

"This has been an invaluable resource for me. In 2018, I attended several classes that sharpened by skills and taught me new ones. It allowed me to access to learn from and network with general contractors that I hope to partner with and build collaborative relationships with fellow subcontractors. My participation in the certificate program through Contractor Academy has given me the highest return on investment of any professional development courses I have taken. I highly recommend for those who want to improve their estimating knowledge to be a better partner in the industry. Thank you!"
