Although various branches of government on both national
and local levels have set aside funding for construction education and
training, many of these programs are structured for adults. Career choices
are generally formed earlier. They are often formed during the teenage
years, and are often based on familiar options.
AEM initiated the Construction Challenge competition specifically to
engage the interest of teens through a hands-on, educational experience.
According to Nicole Hallada, AEM Marketing Director, the Construction
Challenge will help teenagers learn more about construction careers and
construction equipment as well as the importance of construction’s
contributions to a quality infrastructure. |
