We had a fantastic time at the 7th annual Northern Nevada Construction Career Day, hosted by the Nevada Chapter AGC! Held on October 3rd at the Reno-Sparks Convention Center, this event brought together more than 1,600 middle and high school students from Northern Nevada. Through hands-on activities, interactive exhibits, and insights into education, training, and apprenticeship opportunities, students got an exciting glimpse into the possibilities of a construction career. We’re proud to support the next generation of builders and leaders in our industry!
