Construction Career Days
La Paloma 8th grader Alex Piñon is assisted by Joshua Peña, a second year apprentice with Sun Valley Masonry, with adding a cement block to a wall during the sixth annual Southern Arizona Construction Career Days at the Tucson Rodeo Grounds, on Nov. 6, 2019. The event consisted of four stations including civil engineer/mining, utilities, construction, and engineering which aim to give students a hands-on experience in various jobs within the labor workforce. 3,800 students from over 90 schools will attend the event spanning two days. The equipment and volunteers all are provided by various companies giving students the ability to interact and learn from workers currently in their respective field. Last year the event began allowing 8th grade students to attend in order to help them decide on where they would go to high school.
