Careers In Construction Week

Careers in Construction Week is October 12-19, 2009.

Careers in Construction Week is an integral part of the BYF national education and recruitment campaign. This week is designed to increase public awareness of the hard work and contributions of our nation's craft professionals and increase students' interest in pursuing construction as a career.

Local schools, contractors, and organizations are encouraged to partner locally 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. Click here to find an event in your area!
