The National Center for Construction Education and Research announced that
the fourth annual Careers in Construction Week will take place Oct. 13-17,
2008.
Careers in Construction Week is designed to increase
public awareness of the hard work and contributions of our nation’s craft
professionals. In addition, this week promotes recognition among parents, teachers,
guidance counselors and students of the rewarding career opportunities
available in construction.
“2007
was a success,” said Don Whyte, NCCER president.
“Thirty-eight governors proclaimed Careers in Construction Week in their state
and the week received recognition from the White House. We encourage
contractors and schools to use this week to honor our craft professionals and
recognize construction as a rewarding career.”
During this
week, NCCER will also broadcast the 2008 Build Your Future career awareness
video. This video is distributed free of charge and features interviews from
real craft professionals who are already experiencing a rewarding construction
career.
Contractors, schools and industry associations
throughout the country will conduct career fairs and various
construction-related activities to help promote construction career
opportunities in their communities.
All organizations
planning an event during this week should submit their event online at
careers.nccer.org.
NCCER provides an array of
promotional materials to assist organizations in planning a successful week.
Materials include a comprehensive Careers in Construction Week Planning Guide
that is equipped with sample press releases, logos, proclamation templates and
suggested week activities.
All materials are available for
download from the NCCER Careers Web site at careers.nccer.org.
