We encourage trade, industry and post-secondary education and training program partners to participate and inspire local students to build a career in construction. Teach students to build something with their own hands or teach them how to use a tool or piece of equipment. Take part in an exciting opportunity to pass along the things that excite you about your work. This event is made possible through the generosity of sponsors who underwrite the expenses associated with renting the event facility.
Students are encouraged to bring their resumes with them and take advantage of a resume review session. Two weeks before the event, instructors will receive information about pre-assignment students are able to complete. This pre-assignment will give students a glimpse into what companies will be at the Trades Day event.
Schools, youth groups, and individual students are invited to register for a two-hour block, starting every 30 minutes from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Students will go through a safety tailgate talk upon arrival before entering the Exhibition Halls. Lunch will not be served for students and instructors.
