On October 2, a group of our high school students attended the Southern Tier Construction-Technology Career Day. The annual event is designed for area students to learn firsthand what awaits them in the construction career field.
The event, held at the Broome County Highway Department facility in Chenango Bridge, featured exhibits from various organizations and schools associated with the construction industry, trade displays, and heavy equipment demonstrations.
For many students, the hands-on experience included the opportunity for supervised operation of equipment such as bulldozers, backhoes, and dump trucks.
Construction-Technology Career Day is designed to introduce high school students to career opportunities and unlimited potential for advancement within the construction industry and is open to students in grades 9 through 12.
