AGC has a Perkins Grant to fund two summer week-long day workshops for coming 9th-12th graders to learn about construction careers. We have contracted with the staff at Construction Education staff at SCC-Milford to develop the curriculum and teach the workshops in June. Due to the grant funding, students will be able to attend the week-long experience at no cost to them. All they need to do is register, complete the forms, and cover the cost of getting to and from the campus each day.
Attached is the promotional piece for the event. Could you please encourage your STS teachers to take a look and encourage interested students to register and attend. We really want to encourage young women to attend. Likewise, I think this is an excellent opportunity for younger high school students to “give construction a try” to see if they want to take more advanced courses in high school where offered. Of course the limitation is attendees must be in daily commute distance from either Milford or Lincoln.
Thanks guys in advanced for doing you magic in helping to get the word out about this opportunity. We’ve got about one more week to make this happen!!
