MVCTC Students Attend
Construction Career Day
Hamilton, Ohio – Miami Valley Career Technology Center (MVCTC) building
trades students attended the 14th Annual Construction Career Day on
September 16, 2015, at Butler County Fairgrounds. Construction Career
Days is brought about by Southwest Ohio building and construction
trades businesses partnering to help high schools students learn about
the vast and different career opportunities within the Construction
Industry. Sponsors of the event include IEC, John R. Jurgensen
Co., Messer Construction Company, Millwrights Local 1090, NAWIC, Dayton
Carpenters Local 132, Ohio Department of Transportation, Ohio Valley
ABC, Operating Engineers Local 18 JATC, Plasterers & Cement Masons
JATC, Reinforced Concrete Iron Workers Local 372 JATC, and Spirit of
Construction Foundation.
As shared by Construction Career Days, “The Construction Industry is
facing a severe shortage of skilled workers. If not addressed, the
shortage will increase affecting quality and safety. Construction
Career Days are designed to educate our youth about a friendlier and
more professional industry that cares about them and their future”.
As part of the Construction Career Days, students get hands-on
experience with construction equipment and participate in fun
construction-related activities and games. Students also had the chance
to talk to industry professionals and explore educational opportunities
with local colleges, apprenticeship programs and construction-related
associations. This includes participating in the Annual Quiz Bowl,
where teams of up to four student representatives test their
construction knowledge against other schools. The MVCTC team of
Dominic Badger (Construction Carpentry junior from Trotwood-Madison);
Gavin Brown (HVAC junior from Miami East); and Lance Hundley
(Electrical Trades junior from Franklin-Monroe), won the Quiz Bowl.
