2025 Construction Industry Career Day

Looking ahead to 2025, The ACCNJ is excited to host CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY CAREER DAY as they continue to showcase the opportunities available through a career in construction. They believe this incredible program brings value to the union construction industry. They look
forward to offering CICD 2025 to New Jersey's high school students, their parents and educators, as well as career seekers and veterans.
Based on last year’s program, we will host our event TUESDAY NIGHT, May 27, 2025, from 3-7pm. They encourage students to attend this portion of our program with their parents. Community groups and state-funded program participants will also be invited, as well as the
public.
Continuing the program on Wednesday, May 28, 2025, from 8am-1pm, this day will be offered to invited High School groups, leaving the decision up to the school district to bring the best students that will present engaging questions and express sincere interest in the career paths presented by our industry. This event addresses key industry challenges such as workforce development, career awareness, and improving perceptions of construction careers.

Should you have any questions or need additional information:

We invite underemployed, unemployed, veterans and those looking for new career options to join us! High School students must be accompanied by a parent/guardian.

The Construction Roundtable of New Jersey is happy to support Construction Industry Career Day (CICD)! CRTNJ is excited to be part of this incredible program as a sign of a recovering industry ready to once again showcase the opportunities available through a career in construction!

We have been part of this event since the first event in 2001. In fact, the CRTNJ worked in conjunction with the BCANJ (now ACCNJ) to organize the first event. Since then, the BCANJ, continued to organize the event and the CRTNJ fully supported it. The last CICD was held in 2007.

This program addresses many industry concerns including workforce development, career awareness, and perception. The students will also learn about the many professions that make up the construction industry.

Since there is no cost for any student, parent or prospective worker to visit the event and learn about our industry, we asked for financial support from our members to help in any way possible.

As always, your dedication to CICD is paramount to its success.

Testimonials:

I am part of Gallagher’s Construction Practice and work closely with contractors and construction businesses. It is very important to me and my team to stay current on construction news and I joined the Construction Round Table to gain valuable insights. After a little over a year of participating I highly recommend this association to anyone working in the construction industry and have brought clients to meetings. The topics that are covered are always interesting, timely and relevant. The members are all true professionals and the meetings provide a great opportunity to meet and speak with industry experts. Patty and the board have done a great job keeping members engaged and educated on important trends and large local projects.
