Rochester Students Test Out Alternatives To College Through ‘Careers in Construction’ Event

During the 25th annual Rochester Careers in Construction Day, more than 1,000 high school students actively participated. This event opens up a diverse array of opportunities, empowering students to build self-esteem and secure futures without the necessity of a college education.

Grant Malone, the president of the Rochester Building & Constructions Trades Council, stated: “They’re going to be seeing people from electrician work, heavy equipment operation — which is being done outside. Plumbers and pipefitters, masonry, insulator, ironworker. There’s a welding simulator over there they can try — there’s a multitude of things.”
