ALACHUA, Fla. — NCCER and its Build Your Future (BYF) initiative are again declaring October as Careers in Construction Month. During the month, industry and education partner locally to host career events that introduce students to rewarding construction careers.
BYF also provides online resources to make it easy for organizations to participate, including a How To: Plan a Career Day guide, Field Manual and Helpful Hints for Career Day Exhibitors. Organizations can also register their events on BYF’s website for added publicity.
In additional NCCER and BYF news, 2015 is the fourth year BYF’s partnership with the Louisiana Workforce Commission for construction recruitment and image enhancement in Louisiana.
