THE MISSION OF THE SPEC MIX BRICKLAYER 500® HAS ALWAYS BEEN TO DRIVE WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT. THE GOAL IS TO PROMOTE THE MASONRY INDUSTRY THROUGH A CONTEST WHICH TESTS THE SKILL, SPEED, AND STAMINA OF EACH CONTESTANT. EACH YEAR THE CONCEPT GROWS AND MORE COMPETITORS SIGN UP FOR THEIR CHANCE TO BE NAMED, “WORLD’S BEST BRICKLAYER.”

AS THE NEXT GENERATIONS OF POTENTIAL MASONS ENTER THE WORKPLACE, MANY ARE OPTING FOR A COLLEGE EDUCATION VS LEARNING A TRADE. THE RESULT IS A GAP IN THE NUMBER OF QUALIFIED MASONS AND TENDERS TO FULFILL THE INCREASING DEMAND IN CONSTRUCTION.

NEWS AGENCIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY HAVE TAKEN NOTICE OF THE SPEC MIX BRICKLAYER 500® AND IT’S GOAL OF EXCITING A NEW GENERATION OF MASONS. WE HAVE COMPILED A LIST OF STORIES RELATED TO OUR MISSION AND HAVE PLACED THEM IN ONE EASY-TO-NAVIGATE PAGE.
