Back After popular demand, Construction Career Days is returning to Tampa Bay on Wednesday, April 13th to give local high school students the opportunity to learn firsthand about roadway construction from industry professionals through interactive learning lab activities.
“The Florida Department of Transportation values the relationship with our contractors in the industry and Construction Career Days is a great opportunity for us to partner with them on a common goal to increase exposure to the construction industry, particularly road and bridge construction in the Tampa Bay area, in the hopes that it will attract individuals
interested in current employment as well as future opportunities,” shared Bill Jones, District Seven Construction Engineer for the FDOT.
Tampa Bay’s construction industry continues to surge in the private and public sectors. “The construction industry is growing, and there just are not enough qualified candidates in the market to fill our needs.
"This problem will only get worse if we don’t start bringing the younger generation into our workforce,”
said Thomas Butler, SUCA Chairman.
