Five Elected Officials Attend ABCI’s New Flagship Campus Site Dedication

The recent site dedication of the ABC Institute Apprenticeship College’s new flagship campus in Hialeah underscored not only the organization’s growth but also its importance to Florida’s future workforce. The $8 million, 23,000-square-foot campus will house cutting-edge classrooms, hands-on learning labs, and programs designed to meet the state’s pressing need for skilled construction professionals.

The September 10 dedication ceremony was a resounding success, drawing members of the construction industry, community leaders, and five prominent elected officials: State Representatives Tom Fabricio and David Borrero, Senator Ana Maria Rodriguez, Hialeah Mayor Jackie Garcia-Roves, and Miami-Dade County Sheriff Rosie Cordero-Stutz. Their presence demonstrated the recognition of ABC Institute’s role in strengthening Florida’s construction pipeline.

With record enrollment of 979 students statewide this academic year, ABCI continues to lead the way in employer-sponsored, debt-free education across 11 campuses. The dedication of the Hialeah facility marks a historic milestone in both workforce development and ABC’s 50-year mission of advancing the merit shop philosophy.
