ABC Construction Wars

“Over the course of three days, 200 area middle school students attended this spring’s Construction Wars, an interactive career exploration event that offers hands-on activities with the help of construction professionals and provides students with an understanding of the many possible career paths offered by the construction industry. During this Construction Wars event, students have the educational opportunity to see ABC’s training facility, work with tools, understand safety requirements, and learn more about the skilled trades. Students built wood benches, tested electrical circuits, bent sheet metal to make their own toolboxes, and more. Educators learned what the construction industry needs in its future workforce and how careers in skilled trades are a viable, well-paying alternative to college.”

Thank you, ABC we had so much fun!
