Why Support a Future in Construction?
Construction is more high-tech than ever before, and leaders within the construction industry are finding new, innovative ways to enhance the way our communities live and grow. Encourage your child to explore a career in construction today.
Why Construction?
The construction industry of today is not the same industry that your parents and grandparents remember. There are more opportunities in construction than ever before. It’s one of the nation’s largest employers, employing more people and contributing more money to America’s bottom line than any other single industry. With on-site training opportunities, huge career advancement options, and work that’s never boring…what’s holding you back from exploring a future in construction?
Construction Career Guide for Parents
You want the best for your child—a secure future that offers them growth, financial stability, and an opportunity to be the best version of themselves. For many students, the path to a career includes a traditional, four-year degree. For other students, this path is not a great fit. If you feel like your child would not thrive in a degree program or would be better suited in a more hands-on profession, we encourage you to discuss careers in construction with your child.
Opportunities at Every Level
Ohio’s technical and community colleges offer a variety of programs and all types of curriculum. If a two- or four-year colleges experience is the right fit for your son or daughter, our region offers many different paths for a career in construction, whether your child is interested in construction management, civil engineering, architecture, or business (Curious about debt?
