Georgia Students learn about careers in construction, design and energy at Construction Ready CareerExpo

If you're looking for the next generation of commercial construction professionals, Construction Ready is giving you a head start. The group, which works with high school students, parents, employers, teachers, counselors and partners to strengthen the youth workforce and address the skilled labor market, held its annual CareerExpo in March at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta.

More than 7,000 students from across Georgia attended the Expo, the state’s largest youth workforce development event for the construction industry. The students explored interactive exhibits that demonstrated the scope of the industry and learned about specific career paths. In addition, they were able to meet with industry professionals, trade association representatives and educators from hundreds of organizations across the state, including The Home Depot, Georgia Power, Associated General Contractors (AGC) of Georgia and the Technical College System of Georgia.
