WHAT IS BUILD MY FUTURE

Build My Future is a one-day construction career event for high school students in Northwest Ohio and the surrounding areas. Interactive learning labs from businesses in the skilled trades and building industry will provide students with hands-on opportunities to experience what their future career could look like. Student activities include hands-on learning labs, equipment operation and educational displays.

It's a really good way for students to physically see, get their hands on things and get them excited about their future.

Educators share their experiences with Build My Future

"Do it! Take your students to this event! You will not regret it. The attention to detail was amazing from start to finish. Great event for students and staff."

"Great opportunity to expose your students to the benefits of entering the trades after high school."

"This event is worth going to because it provides experience and connections to a wide variety of students. Students can see what construction jobs look like instead of being talked to about them. Hands-on experience is a crucial part of the career exploration process and Build My Future helps provide that."

"Take your students! It is a wonderful event and will help students make better informed decisions about careers that are available to them after high school."
