MVCTC Students Attend Construction Career Day
As shared by Construction Career Days, “The Construction Industry is facing a severe shortage of skilled workers. If not addressed, the shortage will increase affecting quality and safety. Construction Career Days are designed to educate our youth about a friendlier and more professional industry that cares about them and their future”.
As part of the Construction Career Days, students get hands-on experience with construction equipment and participate in fun construction-related activities and games. Students also had the chance to talk to industry professionals and explore educational opportunities with local colleges, apprenticeship programs and construction-related associations. This includes participating in the Annual Quiz Bowl, where teams of up to four student representatives test their construction knowledge against other schools. The MVCTC team of Dominic Badger (Construction Carpentry junior from Trotwood-Madison); Gavin Brown (HVAC junior from Miami East); and Lance Hundley (Electrical Trades junior from Franklin-Monroe), won the Quiz Bowl.
