Construction is not just a class you sign up for, it is an industry.

The construction industry is responsible for building and maintaining our nations infrastructure, the buildings and factories that we work in, and the homes and apartments that we live in. Industry experts have been forecasting for years about looming shortages of workers in the construction trades. Those predictions have finally come true. This fact is good news for those seeking high-paying jobs right out of high school, as well as those who wish to seek additional training and education to fill the positions they desire.
