The Building Industry Association of Northern Kentucky will host a career exploration and job fair for the skilled construction trades Wednesday, June 8 from 3 to 4:30 p.m. at the company’s headquarters at 2751 Circleport Drive in Erlanger.
The public is invited to attend.
“This is a unique event in that it is exclusively geared toward the skilled construction trades,” said Dr. Vicki Berling, BIA director of Professional Development of the Enzweiler Building Institute. “Plus, participants will get to ‘try-out’ the trades through the many employer exhibits.”
About 20 employers from the construction industry will be onsite to provide hands-on exploration of their trade and to discuss current and future job opportunities. The event is geared toward students who are interested in the skilled trades, as well as adults who are seeking to transition into these high-need, high-wage jobs.
The BIA also operates the Enzweiler Building Institute, which is the longest running, continually operating private trade school operated under the auspices of the National Association of Home Builder.
On Thursday, Berling and Brian Miller, executive vice-president of the BIA, talked to Kentucky legislators about their plan to build a site at the Latonia Commerce Center and the work they are doing in Northern Kentucky.
Registration is not required to attend this drop-in event. Inquiries may be directed to Dr. Vicki Berling at Vicki@BuildersNKY.com or by phone at (859) 640-4294.
