The company is opening registration for the Building the Future Workforce Challenge, a global innovation competition first discussed on stage at CES® 2026 by Caterpillar Chairman and CEO Joe Creed during his keynote, and part of Caterpillar’s five-year, US$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.”
Operated by CARROT, the challenge welcomes bold proposals from nonprofit and for-profit organisations worldwide that can be piloted and tested in select communities. Organisations must register by 5:00 p.m. US Eastern Time on Thursday 30 July 2026, to participate.
Caterpillar will announce the finalists in early 2027.
