Trades Day introduces high school and middle school youth to industry career opportunities in construction, design, sub-contracting, heavy equipment, engineering, and other skilled trades. Our partners from the trades, industry, training and post-secondary programs, and others–will join us to inspire local students to pursue careers in construction. Students will participate in hands-on activities to explore all the industry has to offer; teach them how to swing a hammer, try their hand at mixing cement, scale a wall for roofing, or throw on some PPE and get them welding. Anything to get their hands and minds moving!
Trade companies are invited to take part in an exciting opportunity to pass along what excites you about your profession. Students are invited to attend to learn more about construction careers.
