Construction Career Day 2027

THE TRADES ARE THE FUTURE.

For too long, the traditional four-year college path has been presented as the path to a successful career.

It isn't the only path.

Today's construction industry offers an incredible range of careers—from electricians, plumbers and carpenters to equipment operators, welders, engineers, project managers, technology specialists, and entrepreneurs.

OPERATE. CLIMB. BUILD. CUT. BEND. CREATE.

Construction Career Day is an action-packed, hands-on student expo designed to introduce the next generation to the people, skills, technology, and career opportunities powering Connecticut’s construction industry.

OPERATE a skid steer

TAKE THE CONTROLS of a crane simulator
CLIMB a United Illuminating utility pole
BUILD a masonry wall
CUT tile
BEND pipe
USE professional power tools
EXPLORE cutting-edge construction technology
MEET people who work in the trades
DISCOVER career paths they may never have considered

…and SO MUCH MORE!
