About this event
Non-Profit Construction Ready is returning to South Florida with its successful Skills Challenge program. The November 19th event will provide hands-on learning for more than 100 K-12 students from 14 area schools -- engaging in four trade competitions (Carpentry, Electrical, Masonry, and Plumbing).
The competing students, their classmates and educators will also have the opportunity to talk with representatives from companies in the skilled trades.
Who’s Coming? More than 150 students and educators from 14 high schools in Broward, Miami-Dade, and Palm Beach will be attending.
Why: There is a high need for skilled workers across Florida. More workers are retiring than are entering the workforce. Closing this “skills gap” and educating more people about careers in the skilled professions is Construction Ready’s primary goal.
