    JAC works to connect people to
    companies and people to people

    Our logo depicts the strong relationship of trust between people, companies, and JAC, and incorporates the idea that this relationship should always be fair and equal.

    The JAC logo depicts the letters "J" and "C" supporting the "A" in the center, and expresses the notion that JAC, as an association, builds bridges between companies and construction skilled workers. The circles located like heads above each letter are spaced apart evenly to indicate that they are equal.

    The logo uses three colors.
    The colors represent diversity and the idea that each party has a role to play in our activities.
