Construction Career Days is an industry sponsored event for high school students, grades 10 through 12, to explore the various areas of construction - building, highway, engineering and architecture. Activities such as operating heavy equipment, a nail hammering contest, designing a traffic circle, testing materials, making a sheet metal tote, wiring an electric box, plumbing, surveying, troubleshooting equipment, fastening drywall, and safety equipment offer students a glimpse of the diversity of careers in the industry. Small groups of students are escorted by construction industry volunteers who serve as a source of information about the business as well as guides to the activities.

This year's CCD will also include an important adult segment that will align job seekers with education, training and job placement opportunities for them to begin their future in the various trades that make up the construction and design industries.
