Built to Last®, which was nominated in 2021 for an Emmy for "Outstanding Achievement for Magazine Programming" by the Midwest Chapter of The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences is returning for a 9th Season in 2024!
 
Starting with the name itself, Built to Last® means enduring quality, and spotlights how skilled labor sets the benchmark for performance training, safety best practices and industry-leading productivity, making it the smart choice for creating partnerships. Built to Last moves across arresting projects and fascinating individuals that collectively exemplify the real-world contributions that organized labor makes toward our communities. The show also showcases public and private economic developments and partnerships, as well as the Carpenters Union's dedication to the building industry.
 
“Built to Last® is a success because of the trades and the people involved, their dedication to a skilled labor workforce and the proficiency in a wealth of crafts, the seamless collaboration between union members and union contractors and enticing stories with fascinating people that elicit emotions ranging from compassion and inspiration to intrigue and exultation.”
