Our team had the opportunity to participate in Build My Future, an incredible hands-on exposure event designed to introduce students to careers in the construction industry. More than 1,800 students from 29 schools across Arkansas attended, exploring different trades and gaining real-world insight into the many career paths available in construction.
Events like this are so important in helping the next generation discover opportunities in the skilled trades. Students were able to interact directly with contractors and suppliers, ask questions, and get hands-on experience that can help point them in the right direction for a future career.
A big thank you to the Associated Builders and Contractors of Arkansas for the invitation and for hosting such a meaningful event that invests in the future of our industry.
We’re also proud of our Koontz Electric team members who were on-site, sharing their knowledge with students and giving them a look at what it takes to become a heavy industrial electrician. Opportunities like this allow us to inspire the next generation and show them the rewarding careers that exist in the skilled trades.
