The Builders Guild of Western Pennsylvania will present their Build On: Careers in Construction and Allied Industries event at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center. The two-day event will run from November 17th – 18th, and aims to help students, parents, and others seeking careers to gain a better understanding of career opportunities in the union construction, energy, manufacturing, and utility industries fields as well as the technical skills needed to advance in these industries in the coming years. The events are free of charge.
While the first day of the event is exclusively for students, counselors, teachers, and administrators from local school districts, the event on Saturday, November 18 is open to the public. From 9:30 AM – 12:30 PM, the Builder’s Guild aims to raise awareness of the highly skilled, technical jobs that will build and sustain a new Pittsburgh region middle class for the next generation.
Representatives from union construction and other apprenticeship and training programs, pre-apprenticeship programs and regional two-year degree programs in various construction disciplines will be available to discuss educational programs for those who are interested.
The event is presented in cooperation with The CNX Foundation and Partner4Work.
