The Home Builders Association of Lincoln (HBAL) (hbal.org) Careers in Construction Committee will once again host a hands-on Construction Career Day for area high school students on April 22. The event will take place from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at Haymarket Park in Lot 19 (south parking lot), 403 Line Drive Circle.
Organizers expect more than 300 students from Lincoln and surrounding communities to attend. The event will feature over 25 construction-related companies, giving students the opportunity to meet industry professionals and explore career paths in the building trades.
Throughout the day, students will participate in interactive demonstrations and hands-on activities designed to showcase the skills used in construction careers. Activities include a nail-driving competition, operating heavy equipment, building masonry walls, finishing concrete, and more.
Jereme Montgomery, one of the event’s coordinators said, “Construction Career Day allows high school students to meet professionals, try hands on activities, and see that a successful career in the construction industry is both achievable and rewarding.”
Construction Career Day is part of HBAL’s ongoing effort to promote careers in the building industry and connect students with local employers. Together, these efforts help build a stronger workforce while inspiring the next generation of construction professionals in the Lincoln community.
