Construct Tomorrow 2024

Tuesday, November 12, 2024

9 a.m. – 1:30 p.m.

Grand Hall at the Mayo Clinic Healthy System Event Center, 1 Civic Center Plaza, Mankato

Construct Tomorrow is an interactive career fair that features each of the construction trades including bricklayers, carpenters, cement mason, electricians, floor coverers, iron workers, laborers, pipefitters, finishing trades, sheet metal workers and more. The trade trainers provide hands-on experiences for students to learn about careers in the construction industry and union apprenticeship training programs.

Students get to talk to young and experienced professionals about working in the trades, and they get to try hands-on activities that simulate what it's like to work on a real jobsite!

At the career-focused event, students will get the opportunity to:

Try tools of the trades hands-on
Talk to diverse tradespeople from multiple construction industries
Learn about wages and benefits
Discuss registered apprenticeship with industry professionals
