Building Advantage welcomed 900 students from 43 local high schools to American Family Field for an immersive introduction into careers in the union construction industry. Over 40 local trades, contractors, and industry organizations shared valuable information about registered apprenticeship and the many career pathways within the union building trades. Through a variety of hands-on activities, high school juniors and seniors were able to explore the unique skills, benefits, and opportunities offered by each trade. We’re proud to champion union-registered apprenticeship as a proven pathway to rewarding careers that strengthen both individuals and our community.

2024’s Building Advantage Construction Career Fair was the largest yet with a record-breaking 1,200 local high school students from 48 schools! We’re incredibly grateful for all of the high schools, students, union trades, contractors, industry organizations and local leaders that supported and participated in our annual event.

In 2020, our career fair went virtual with four videos highlighting local job sites, different career paths, and advice from union tradespeople. Learn more about what it means to join the union commercial construction industry in the videos below.
