How to enjoy 10x the ROI of $1 spent over traditional advertising.

Most companies are still using the same old marketing strategies that have been around for decades.

They’re not getting great results, and they could be doing so much better if they only knew about this one thing…

This is a proven strategy that has worked time and again to help companies grow their businesses by 10x or more.

It’s easy to implement, but most people don’t know about it because it flies in the face of conventional wisdom.

The best part is you can get started today with little risk or cost.

Weber State Seeks Industry Partners

We are excited to announce the kick-off of the registration process for the annual Design-Build Day at Weber State University.

Their Construction Management, Facilities Management, Architecture, and Interior Design students interact with industry partners to find internships and job opportunities. They also invite 1000+ concurrent enrollment high school and technical college students from Northern Utah. This is the premier career fair event in Northern Utah, as all attendees will be taking courses relating to the construction industry.

 
Event Timing: Friday April 1, 2022 8:00AM – 1:30 PM
Event Address: 2750 University Park Blvd Layton, Utah 84041

 

Watch this video to catch a glimpse of what the 2019 event looked like (Watch for AIBD president Bernie Kern at 0:2:28). The only difference is that the career fair will be happening in the parking lot in 2022, and there will be 15-minute breakout sessions for industry/education partners to present to students in the ballrooms.

The funding collected to participate in this event will be used to fund scholarships and to pay for the food trucks that we will have on-site for everyone to enjoy.

Focused business training available on-demand.
A library of training videos provided by the Certified Training Institute (CTI), one of our newest CE Providers, now lives on AIBD.org.   
 
Each of the 25+ hours of training is identified and arranged according to the associated areas of knowledge and skills, according to the AIBD’s Building Designer Job Task Analysis (JTA), which is found on pages 39-43 in the CPBD Candidate Handbook.
 
There are four knowledge areas identified in the JTA – Business Administration, Business Practices, Design Process, and Building Design.
 
The new Certified Training Institute webpage currently includes instruction in only the first domain – Business Admin. But rather than waiting until all 56 CTI classes are uploaded, we’ll announce each of the parts as they go live (about two weeks apart).
 
Thanks to CTI, everyone wishing to become better skilled at their craft will have specialized training access.
 
Whether you’re a CPBD looking for approved Primary CEs, you’re preparing yourself for the CPBD exam, or you want to be the best you can be at what you do, bookmark AIBD.org/onlineCTI.

We said 60% off; it’s actually 58%, we rounded up.

One course per month (with a month or two off) means you’ve paid for your annual membership and more.
