Construction careers are not only abundantly available, but they’re also extremely lucrative career options for your child. Furthermore, due to major advancements in construction technology, the industry is safer than it ever has been before. The construction industry also has a strong focus on promoting and fostering diversity, equity and inclusion. Over the last several years, more females and minorities are entering into amazing careers in the industry, as well as managing and moving into ownership of construction firms. As a matter of fact, the construction industry boasts one of the smallest gender wage gaps compared to other sectors, with females earning 99 cents to the dollar their male counterparts earn!

There are a variety of opportunities available for your child to safely explore and experience the wonderful world of construction—including options where they can even earn WHILE they learn! Build Your Career (BYC) has access to almost 1,000 Carolinas AGC member construction employers throughout North and South Carolina and we can get your child connected with local paid student internships, pre-apprenticeships and even direct employment. BYC can also get your child connected to our diverse mix of employers members so they can participate in job shadowing days, live or virtual jobsite tours, school visits, hands-on project-based learning activities and much more!

Construction is a long-term professional opportunity for your child, not just a “plan B” alternative to a Liberal Arts Degree in College. If your high school student is approaching graduation without a plan they’re excited about, college can be a very expensive way to figure out their future.
