Sandoval names October Careers in Construction Month in Nevada — PHOTOS
More than 1,000 students from 18 area high schools and students from the University of Nevada Las Vegas were introduced to careers in the construction industry and its related trades on Friday at Construction Career Day. The event was hosted by the Nevada Contractors Association and held at UNLV.
Construction Career Day featured more than 70 exhibitors from the construction industry presenting hands-on, interactive displays to inform students and counselors about construction-related careers.
Gov. Brian Sandoval issued a proclamation declaring October as Careers in Construction Month in Nevada, citing construction as the “fastest growing industry in the Silver State in terms of percentage of growth.”
He said construction stands as Nevada’s sixth-largest sector in total employment with more than 85,700 jobs.
