The Construction Combine is a two-day event that brings together educational institutions, local construction contractors, and community members to build a stronger construction labor force. Students gain hands-on experience, learn new skills, and explore career opportunities in the trades, while contractors provide expert training and mentorship.
Day 1 – Trades Day: Students rotate through interactive booths showcasing various construction trades, demonstrating their skills and learning new techniques. This day also offers a valuable opportunity for students and contractors to connect and discuss potential employment.
Day 2 – Build Day: Students collaborate with local contractors to construct sheds, which are then donated to local veterans. Additionally, participants have the chance to take part in mock or formal interviews with area contractors, gaining real-world job application experience.
The Construction Combine is an impactful event that strengthens the building industry while inspiring and preparing the next generation of skilled workers.
