Construction careers are a great fit for people who take pride in building something. It’s also a good choice for people who get bored doing the same thing all the time; every day and every project are different! Attention to detail and safety are extremely important. It’s also important to work well with a variety of different people from diverse backgrounds. Construction work is physically demanding and often takes place outside in the heat or cold.

Careers in the field include:

• Construction Worker

• Trades Specialist (Electrician, Plumber, etc.)

• Finish Carpenter

• General Contractor

• Construction Superintendent

• Construction Manager

• Public Works Employee

These are just a few examples! Discuss additional career paths with your School Counselor or CCTC's Counselor.
