Fourteen construction students from Lincoln North Star and Lincoln Northeast toured multiple residential building sites on Wednesday, May 16. This job shadowing opportunity provided by the Home Builders Association of Lincoln (HBAL) allowed the students to see various stages of the home building process from framing stage to final touch-ups.

HBAL has organized these job shadowing events for many years, allowing students to learn about construction careers outside of the classroom setting.

Thank you to the following individuals and companies for making the spring 2012 Lincoln Public Schools Job Shadow Project another success:

• Lea Barker, New Traditions Custom Homes – HBAL Host

• Jerry Boyce, Boyce Construction, Inc. – HBAL Host

• Lois Hartzell, Vistar Homes, Inc. – HBAL Host

• Mike Kinning, Kinning Design Build, Inc. – HBAL Host
