WECA Arizona Reaches Out to 3K High School Students, Including Their Teachers and Career Advisors, at Arizona Construction Career Days and Resource Fair










 

Heath Anderson, WECA Arizona's Outreach and Workforce Development Specialist, reported that WECA Arizona just returned from Arizona Construction Career Days, the state's largest career and resource fair supporting the construction industry.

Arizona Construction Career Days celebrated its 25th anniversary at the Arizona Army National Guard facility. Meanwhile, WECA Arizona joined 90 other contractors and associations to demonstrate the career pathways to approximately 3,200 high school students, teachers, and career advisors.

Among the attendees were WECA Arizona Member Contractors Helix Electric, K2 Electric, PCL, Corbins, EIG, and Brycon. Amber Integrated Services also joined the WECA ranks since they are in the process of becoming a WECA Member Contractor.

Heath also said, "We were able to have some great conversations with many high school juniors and seniors planning their futures, along with school staff gaining more knowledge to support their students. We would like to thank the United States Army for allowing us to continue using their base for the event. They are amazing hosts and provided so much in letting these students and contractors have an amazing venue to convene. Also, a big thank you to both Helix and K2 for helping in our booth. The ability to help our audience truly understand the path into our trade was so incredibly served by having both the WECA team and Member Contractors in the same conversation. We will see you all again next year."
