Register for Caterpillar’s ‘Building the Future Workforce Challenge’

Registration for Caterpillar’s Building the Future Workforce Challenge is officially open. The global innovation competition was first discussed on stage at CES 2026 by Caterpillar Chairman and CEO Joe Creed during his keynote. It’s also part of Caterpillar’s five-year, $100 million pledge announced last year.
“The future of work is here, and it’s up to all of us — industry, educators and innovators — to ensure people are ready to succeed in it,” said Christy Pambianchi, chief human resources officer, Caterpillar. “This challenge is about unlocking new ideas that help individuals build durable, future‑ready skills while strengthening our communities.”
The challenge, which is operated by CARROT, welcomes bold proposals from nonprofit and for‑profit organizations worldwide that can be piloted and tested in select communities. To participate, Caterpillar noted that organizations must register by 5:00 p.m. U.S. Eastern Time on Thursday, July 30, 2026. The company will announce the finalists in early 2027.
