Working in the construction industry provides individuals with the opportunity to have a career outdoors. You may find yourself working on high-profile jobs such as professional sports arenas or buildings that define a city skyline.

Many jobs start from the ground up, meaning the early phases of the project are completed outside. Electricians, brick masons, cement masons, iron workers, plumbers and a number of other crafts spend part of their time working outdoors. These skilled construction workers begin their career in a registered construction industry apprenticeship program, which provides on-the-job training and classroom instruction.

Construction industry apprenticeships are open to anyone with a high school diploma or GED and provide a great opportunity to get out of an office setting where no jobsite will be the same.

As the construction boom continues throughout the U.S., workers are needed because Baby Boomers, who make up a large percentage of construction workers, are starting to retire in large numbers.

With openings in most trades, a career in the construction industry could be exactly what you need to support yourself and your family.
