Governor Eric Holcomb has proclaimed October as “Careers in Construction Month” (CICM). CICM is designated to increase public awareness and appreciation of construction craft professionals and the entire construction workforce.
“The Indiana Builders Association is appreciative that the governor has proclaimed October Careers in Construction Month,” Indiana Builders Association President Paul Schwinghammer said. “Thousands of constructions-related jobs are currently available in a variety of different trade fields and we continue to look for ways to expand the outreach of our Build Your Future campaign to educate our youth on those opportunities. Young adults can enter the workforce immediately with a good wage and have a career for a lifetime.”
The construction industry is one of the nation’s largest industries, employing more than five million individuals in the United States.
“We are pleased to honor the construction craft professionals and critical role they play in the development of Indiana,” Governor Holcomb said.
