4th Annual Construction and Skilled Trades Day is going virtual!

We’re going VIRTUAL!

Although we won’t be meeting in person at the Lake County Fairgrounds this year, we look forward to offering teachers and opportunity to share valuable

Information with their students via Live ZOOM sessions—featuring 14 local Construction Trades apprenticeship programs over 14 days!

Here's what to expect:

One-hour sessions will feature a different trade on each day
Students will hear about career opportunities in union construction trades
Apprenticeship directors will discuss expectations, and in some cases, a guest apprentice will be on hand to share their experience
Students will learn to successfully apply to an apprenticeship program
All sessions will be recorded and available
