Local High School Students Tour Construction Sites
In the most recent survey of BCA members, the number one issue was hiring skilled workers.
Many of our members are small to medium enterprises that depend heavily on securing local, skilled trades.
We have created an annual Construction Career Day to introduce select high school students to the world of construction.
We tell them the good news about construction. It is a career, not a job. It is not about physical strength, but about brains. It is not about who has the biggest truck or who drinks the most beer. It is about skill, it is about commitment, it is about solving problems, it is about working as part of a team, it is about delivering what you promise, it is about being educated, about helping people, about being a professional, being proud of what you do.
