Celebrate careers in construction month by Bailee Wicks

Communications Manager

Every October, BIAW celebrates Careers in Construction Month (CICM) to increase public awareness of the opportunities available in construction trade professions. Although Careers in Construction Month is a good time to celebrate and highlight the trades, you can choose any month or day. The most important thing is for local associations and members to do something each calendar year to assist the future workforce of the residential construction industry. Ongoing efforts are important to achieve the goal of increasing the number of professional construction trades employees in your area to close the labor gap the trades face daily. Ways to get involved The best ways to get involved are to recognize contributions made by the professionals working in construction, instill a sense of pride in the industry, increase awareness and foster a positive career image.
