The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) is excited to announce its annual Careers in Construction Month this October, dedicated to highlighting the rewarding and financially viable careers in the construction industry. This month-long initiative will include various events aimed at engaging student chapters, fostering mentorship, and inspiring future industry leaders. Key activities include the kickoff at the Fall Leadership Meeting, outreach to local Boys & Girls Clubs for career readiness, and a focus on supporting student chapters through collaboration and resource sharing.
Attendees are encouraged to participate in specific themed weeks, such as Young Professionals Week, which promotes networking, mentorship, and community involvement among emerging industry leaders. A highlight of the month is Careers in Construction Day, on October 25, where members can join in community service projects that showcase their skills while giving back. The month will culminate in a celebration of residential construction, urging participants to share their experiences and contributions on social media, reinforcing the value of mentorship and community in the construction sector.
