NCCER Releases Recruitment Video

October 10, 2008 • The National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER), Gainesville, Fla., announces the release of the 2008 Build Your Future video. The fast-paced video is part of a national recruitment and education campaign created to increase awareness of the rewarding careers available in the construction and maintenance industry.

The video features interviews with craft professionals, construction managers, and company owners at some of the nation's most exciting construction projects. The video also highlights the dynamic construction career path, earning potential, and the satisfaction and pride of being part of the team that builds America.

 

“We encourage contractors and schools to use this video to help promote the construction industry and the rewarding career opportunities it provides,” said Don Whyte, NCCER president.

 

The video may be viewed year-round and complements Careers in Construction Week, which takes place Oct. 13-17, 2008. This week is designed to increase public awareness of the hard work and contributions of our nation's craft professionals and increase students' interest in pursuing construction as a career.
