Careers in Construction Week is October 12-19, 2009

The National Center for Construction Education & Research (NCCER) is again sponsoring its Careers in Construction Week to increase public awareness of the hard work and contributions of our nation’s craft professionals and increase young people’s interest in pursuing construction as a career. Schools, contractors and other industry organizations are encouraged to host construction career events and programs during this week. These events allow students to speak directly to potential employers, and contractors can start a dialogue with potential employees. Planning an event for Careers in Construction Week?
