2025 Pub. 7 Special Edition

In the new Civil Construction course in Jordan School District, high school students will explore the dynamic and rapidly growing field of civil construction. In this course, students will not only learn foundational concepts but also participate in design projects, interact with industry professionals, and gain valuable skills directly applicable to a variety of civil construction careers. Topics covered in the course include construction basics, safety, math and measurements, earthwork, drainage, utilities, concrete, asphalt and more.

Utah’s construction industry continues to grow at a remarkable pace. Population growth, transportation expansion, and ongoing residential and commercial development are driving sustained demand for infrastructure across the state. From roads and utilities to site preparation and vertical development, contractors are facing no shortage of work. What remains in short supply, however, is a steady pipeline of job-ready civil construction workers.

The Utah Asphalt Pavement Association (UAPA) is proud to support Utah’s students, from high school to college, who are shaping the future of our state’s infrastructure. Through hands-on research, creative problem-solving and collaboration, these scholarships help students connect classroom learning with real-world innovation in the asphalt pavement industry.

We had an outstanding turnout and exceptional response to the 2025 UAPA Fall Conference in St. George. The festivities kicked off on Veterans Day with our charity golf tournament at Copper Canyon Golf Course, where a combined crowd of nearly 200 golfers, attendees and hole sponsors enjoyed perfect weather and a beautifully conditioned course. We extend our appreciation to our golf sponsors for making the event possible, and we also offer hearty congratulations to our tournament winners!
