There are 140 students from nine schools signed up
so far for the first annual Build My Future Construction
Career Day & Industry Showcase being held April 2
at Jones Hall (6301 Kirkwood Blvd. SW) on the Cedar
Rapids Kirkwood Community College campus. The
event is sponsored by Hills Bank and Trust Company,
The Greater Iowa City Area HBA’s Vocational Training
Council, The Cedar Rapids HBA and Kirkwood Community
College with a grant from the National Association
of Home Builders. Hosted by the ACE Sector
Board, the event gives 7th- and 8th-grade students an
opportunity to spend a day in the construction industry
through an interactive showcase. Hands-on learning
labs include construction-industry practices, such as
carpentry, electrical, heavy equipment, masonry, welding
and more. There also will be educational displays
and equipment operations. There’s still time for your
organization to be a part of this inaugural event. Contact
Melissa to participate.
IT’S NOT A BACKYARD.
It’s an oasis.
It’s a place to get away.
It’s watching the kids explore.
It’s late nights with good friends.
It’s reconnecting with a spouse.
IT’S BUILT WITH KING’S.
