MADISON, WI (February 15, 2024) — WRTP | BIG STEP, a workforce intermediary, has partnered with the Latino Academy of Workforce Development, Inc. to host our 2024 Partners in Construction Diversity Career Fair on Thursday, February 22, 2024, from 3 PM – 7 PM at the Latino Academy of Workforce Development, Inc. (2909 Landmark Pl, Madison, WI 53713).
The Partners in Construction Diversity Career Fair emphasizes the importance of creating a diverse pipeline of skilled and ready individuals while providing an opportunity for adults interested in a career in the construction industry to network with area employers and various local labor unions actively seeking out Registered Apprentices. Our partners include labor unions in the construction trades, high-road area employers, higher education institutions, and community organizations. The event will showcase Registered Apprenticeship career pathways and nontraditional routes to family-sustaining careers in the union construction building trades.
Last year, over 20 partners gathered to meet and interact with attendees, and we are excited to share that this number has increased for the 2024 event. WRTP | BIG STEP is thrilled to partner with the Latino Academy of Workforce Development, Inc. to bring awareness to the substantial opportunities awaiting those in the union construction building trades.
We would like to give a very special thank you to our event sponsors: Hooper Corporation, R.G. Huston Company, Inc., and Parisi.
