An educational opportunity is sweeping across the nation and we caught the wave with our very first Construction Career Days (CCD) event on October 25 & 26, 2007 at Honolulu Community College.   More than 700 Oahu high school students from 23 different schools were introduced to the construction industry and the many job opportunities avaiables.  This successful event offered the students educational displays and hands-on experience with construction equipment, materials and services.  The students experienced three areas:  Educational Exhibits, Construction Trades and Heavy Equipment.

Hawaii's first CCD event was sponsored in part by the Hawaii Department of Transportation, Hawaii Local Technical Assistance Program, Federal Highway Administration, the trade and labor organizations, private construction companies, banks and many more.  We would like to acknowledge all the committee members that made our first event such an outstanding success.  All of the students were thrilled with the event and we are pleased that that we gave them a better insight to their future.

This year, Hawaii's second CCD event will be held at Honolulu Community College's main walkway on October 23-24, 2008. The Exhibits will consist of displays from construction companies, engineering firms, government agencies, university institutions, and construction organizations. There will be many interactive displays that will involve students in fun and challenging games. This event will expose students to the many possible careers in the construction industry.
