Building the Future: Summit Construction (Patrick Thomas / Chellye Porter) Engages Youth in Hands-On Learning AGC NM member Summit Construction is leading the way in showing young people why construction is a career of choice! Through hands-on experiences and interactive events, they’re connecting with the next generation to showcase the exciting opportunities in our industry. How AGC New Mexico is Inspiring the Future Workforce: 🔹 Annual Heavy Equipment Rodeo: This year, over 1,100 students from 28 schools statewide participated in a hands-on experience with construction equipment, coupled with a career fair tailored specifically for students. 🔹 Craft Kits for Elementary Students: Partnering with Explora, we created classroom craft kits that industry professionals use to spark curiosity and introduce students to the world of construction. 🔹 Industry Panels: By hosting engaging presentations and connecting with schools, we’re helping to dispel outdated myths and highlight the rewarding career paths construction offers. The goal? To inspire and educate students while positioning construction as a vibrant, innovative, and essential career choice. Thank you, Summit Construction, for your dedication to workforce development and for helping us pave the way for the builders of tomorrow! #WorkforceDevelopment #ConstructionCareers #BuildingTheFuture #buildingnewmexico
Earlier this week, a Summit crew of six went to RFK Charter School as part of Explora's Trades for Teens Program! We brought a craft project to showcase Carpentry, with the end result being a Wooden Robot! The kids were great and hopefully, we sparked interest for some of these kids to go in to the Construction Trades!
