Construction clubs are giving students hands-on skills, real career exposure, and a path they might not find anywhere else in school.

Kids build their future out of what they're exposed to. If construction isn't in the building, it's not on the list.

Your students may be closer to a career opportunity than they realize.

With an estimated 53% of the construction workforce expected to retire by 2036, employers are actively looking for the next generation of skilled professionals. For educators, counselors, coaches, and others who work with high school students every day, that's a chance to help students discover a pathway they may not have considered.

NCCER's CareerStarter is a free resource that allows students to:
✔ Create a professional profile
✔ Explore construction career pathways
✔ Search postsecondary training programs
✔ Connect with employers seeking entry-level talent

Not every student is planning on a four-year degree—and even those who are may be surprised by the variety of careers available in construction. CareerStarter helps students explore real opportunities and take meaningful next steps toward their future.

If you work with high school students, this is a resource worth sharing.
