Construction Career Day will take place Wednesday, April 22, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at Haymarket Park. This hands-on event is your chance to step into the role of educator, mentor and influencer for local high school students who may one day be your future workforce. Last year, dozens of HBAL members hosted interactive activities, shared their passion for construction and showed students what a day in the industry really looks like — from operating equipment and hammering nails to talking about career paths that earn strong wages and genuine job satisfaction.
Why Your Participation Matters
- Shape perceptions. Many students (and parents) don’t fully understand the breadth of careers available in residential construction — from project management and technology to skilled trades and design. Your booth brings those careers to life.
- Grow your talent pipeline. Early connection with motivated young people gives your company a recruitment edge tomorrow — and today.
- Support the community. This isn’t just an industry event — it’s a workforce development initiative that strengthens Lincoln’s economy and showcases how fulfilling a construction career can be.
Sponsorship & Exhibitor Opportunities
Participation comes with multiple sponsorship levels — whether you want a premium footprint on event day or are looking to support with a smaller commitment, there’s a spot for you. Details are in the sponsor form.
