At the recent Mini Skilled Trades Career Fair in Oakland, representatives from Build California, Swinerton, and the NorCal Carpenters Local 713 Union engaged with high school students to generate excitement about a career in construction. There were over 30 students present at the event–all eager to learn and network with industry leaders. The career fair was an excellent opportunity for students to get their hands on tools and get a feel for the industry’s culture.
Build California used this excellent opportunity to interact with students and companies, pass out “swag,” and answer questions about building a career path in the trades after high school. The Build California initiative is looking forward to joining more virtual and in-person events with students and industry leaders, who perfectly embody what is possible with a career in the industry.
