The BYF video features interviews with craft professionals, construction managers, and company owners at some of the nation's most exciting construction projects. The video also highlights the dynamic construction career path, excellent earning potential, and the satisfaction and pride of being part of the team that builds America.
“We encourage contractors and schools to use this video to help promote the construction industry and the rewarding career opportunities it provides,” said Don Whyte, NCCER president.
The BYF video may be viewed year-round and complements Careers in Construction Week, which takes place Oct. 13-17, 2008. This week is designed to increase public awareness of the hard work and contributions of our nation's craft professionals and increase students' interest in pursuing construction as a career.
