The need today for youthful energy, creative spirit, and a willingness to roll up your sleeves is greater than ever.
Looking to start a career right out of high school? Construction is one of the few industries where it is possible to do just that.

The potential for travel.
Recognition for a job done well
meaningful purpose
Just for a moment, think about your favorite skyscraper, bridge, marina, airport terminal, municipal building, or section of highway.
Now imagine the pride you might feel by being part of the hands-on team that built these special places. Imagine the feeling of accomplishment and satisfaction you might enjoy by being able to give back to your community—or even society itself—through your own contributions to such projects.
For many in construction, that sense of purpose is what motivates them to get up in the morning, to work outdoors, to perfect their skills, to use your hands and eyes to solve practical problems.
Looking for an environment where it is okay to be different? The construction industry welcomes individuality. In fact, the construction industry thrives because of it.
a bright future
To be sure, a construction career is not for everyone.
But neither is the prospect—and hefty price tag—of two, four, or more years of college right for everyone. To those open-minded few, however, construction offers boundless potential for a very bright future.
You will be learning a trade and skills that generally enjoy enduring demand in all kinds of economies. Skills, we might add, that are highly transferrable to other industries, too. Salaries, hourly compensation, and benefits are at an all-time high… and rising. Travel options and leadership possibilities are common. As are innumerable opportunities for unlimited career advancement.
