Construction Career Day

Construction Career Day 2023 took place on Thursday, April 13th, between 8 AM - 2 PM at the Mathewson Exhibition Center on the Missouri State Fair Grounds, in Sedalia, MO.

The 2023 event was a huge success with nearly 500 student's in attendance from 24 schools! Stay tuned for more results as they become available!

The purpose of Construction Career Day is to engage students and educate them about the opportunities within the construction industry today.  Students will have the opportunity to get hands-on experience with interactive displays, equipment operation and learning labs. Career opportunities that students can explore include:

  • Heavy equipment operation
  • Concrete
  • Welding
  • Heating and cooling
  • Electrical
  • Plumbing
  • And many other construction related trades

At the 2019 event, we had approximately 400 students attend, representing 47 school districts. 86% of students surveyed after our last event had a positive opinion of a career in construction and 75% of students say they are now interested in a career in the construction industry after attending the event
