As more people visit or relocate to the State of Florida, the need for qualified construction workers grows. Everything from roadways to homes and shopping centers are necessary to support the increasing population. The construction of each requires skilled workers, yet the numbers of those entering the field is dwindling.
In order to increase the number workers in the construction industry, transportation industry officials began
an educational outreach program for high school students in 1999. The program is designed to introduce school students to the wide range of career opportunities available to them in the construction industry in a hands-on environment.
As you explore this website, we hope that you too might consider a career in the construction industry. Please click on one of the geograpical areas at the top of this page to find out more. |
The program is called Construction Career Days.
Partner agencies and organizations responsible for the event include the Florida Department of Transportation,
the Florida Transportation Builders Association, the Suncoast Utility Contractors Association, the National Association
of Women in Construction and the Federal Highway Administration.
