Breaking ground for a brighter future! #CareerTechOhio empowers students to discover pathways to future success, offering them opportunities to showcase essential knowledge and skills for high school graduation and beyond.   Pickaway-Ross Career & Technology Center broke ground on its major new expansion Monday. With over $7 million in expansion funds, they're enhancing programs in carpentry, construction, robotics, and manufacturing. Schorr Architects, Inc. and COMMUNITY DESIGN ALLIANCE, LLC are proud to play a part in this project and these programs that continue to pave the way for skilled, student debt-free careers.   Ohio Lt. Gov. Jon Husted emphasizes the value, "We're expanding career centers across the state because they're full. We have so much demand for career centers because it offers a pathway to a skill, a credential and no college debt and leads right to a career." #PRCTCProud #InDemandOhio #YourFutureYourWay #DesignProfessionalServices

Today’s students are paving the way for a new era of resilient construction. As a Checkoff, we’re investing in modern curriculum and workforce development programs to prepare the next generation of concrete masons and machine operators.    February is Career & Technical Education Month, and the National Association of Home Builders has some great recommendations for attracting young people to these rewarding trades. Job shadowing, career exploration panels and equipment donations to area education programs are great ways to build a strong talent pipeline.     What are some other ideas for encouraging students to pursue a construction career?    https://lnkd.in/gdbRa6-3 

Today marks the end of Careers in Construction Month. We hope this month has provided you with information and background on the variety of career opportunities we offer here at F.O. Day! To conclude Careers in Construction Month, we sat down with Spencer, our Recruiter, to get the inside tips for pursuing a career with the company – starting with the interview process. ·       When answering a question always do your best to answer using the S.T.A.R method.   ·       The acronym STAR stands for –– situation, task, action, result: - Situation: Set the scene by briefly describing the situation, challenge, or event you faced. - Task: Explain what your responsibilities were in that situation. What role did you play? - Action: Describe what steps you took to overcome the challenge or address the situation  - Result: Share what you achieved through your actions.   ·       Be ready to describe the types of asphalt jobs (Highway, Commercial, or Residential) you have worked on and the equipment (Paver, Screed, or Skid Steer) you operated along with any attachments you may have used as well.   ·       Research the position and organization (e.g., mission, goals, etc.) prior to the interview. Familiarize yourself with the duties, responsibilities and requirements of the position.   Thank you for the tips, Spencer!

October is Careers in Construction month. Over the next few weeks, we will highlight several team members to shed light on the different positions and the reasons why they entered the industry. First up, our Pipeline Division Director, Andy Cook. What was your first job in the construction industry? • I would go to work for my dad during the summer. I spent much of my time sweeping and shoveling dirt from the road that had been tracked out of the site. Eventually, I got to run a compactor. What led you to decide to enter the construction industry? • The enjoyment I get from seeing something “get built” and knowing that I was able to contribute to something that will benefit multiple people. What is your favorite thing about your current job? • The number of challenges. With the type of work we do, no two projects are the same, and each will have its own set of challenges that will require you to think through the building process each time. What advice would you give someone wanting to enter the construction industry? • Before you settle, try a couple of different types of construction, i.e., commercial, industrial, residential etc. and positions if you have the opportunity. Each type will have its own skill set and knowledge that is required. When you start, make sure to spend time in the field to LEARN what it takes for the work to happen. Everything looks good in the plans, but to succeed, you need to understand what it takes to make the plans a reality. What is your least favorite thing about your current job? • Finding qualified employees or the misconception that construction careers are low paying. Kids in middle/high school have pushed towards 4 year colleges so much that it has created a lack of individuals that are getting into the construction industry as tradesmen. #rubycollins #generalcontractors #rubycollinsgeneralcontractors #smyrna #georgia #careersincaonstruction #letsbuildsomethinggreat #utilitiescontractor

Let’s Build it Tuesday! Have you noticed the large crane at the SAGE Center recently? Girders are being set in place for the new expansion! This expansion project at the SAGE Center is adding 15,150 square feet of much-needed convention space for our region. The project is paid for in part by State funding to support cultural arts and workforce training events. House Bill 2006, which was passed at the end of the 2021 Oregon Legislative session, appropriates $4.3 million for the construction of the facility. https://lnkd.in/gvh5mxGk #portofmorrow #ports #portindustry #portoperations #workingwaterfront #columbiariver #industry #oregonindustry #visitsage #workforcedevelopment #innovationandentreprenuership #workforce #economicdevelopment #jobready #workready #womenintrades #internships #apprenticeships #skilledtrades #jobopportunities #careerdevelopment
