The event will take place at the Hillsborough County Public Utilities Department, 10707 Rhodine Road, Riverview, FL 33579 from 8:30 am to 2:00 pm. The media is encouraged to attend this event as students participate in an array of learning activities, such as, operating heavy equipment, testing materials, simulating bridge design, asphalt paving operations, concrete mixing, interviewing, traffic safety and other construction activities. With the industry’s continued growth, high school students can also make meaningful connections that can lead to jobs after graduation.
“This is a great event and we are excited to participate. By exposing high school students to our industry we hope to educate them of the many diverse careers that exist within the construction business,” said Jim Goyer, Vice President of Skanska.
“The pipeline of projects and demand for people continues to grow along with the population growth here in Florida. This growth provides for great employment opportunities for those about to graduate from high school.
"There could not be a better time to consider a career in the construction industry.”
The Tampa Bay Construction Career Day is hosted by Suncoast Utility Contractors Association (SUCA), FDOT, Florida Transportation Builders Association (FTBA) and industry leaders. The event teaches students about career opportunities in the transportation industry and spotlights companies that are committed to opening doors for youth.
