WCPSS Students Hands-on Education Day

The WCPSS S.H.E.D Committee works to connect students with careers in the construction trades.

[Mark C. Perna @MarkPerna]

There are millions of jobs available but millions of people out of work—and we need to close that skills gap by driving career development into middle schools and high schools to expose students to all the available careers, opportunities, and pathways.

[Robins & Morton @RobinsMorton]

Construction accounts for approximately 4.1% of the country's total GDP. That contribution could have been even greater except for the ongoing labor shortage. Click the link below to read more. #CICM2019 #buildinginsight #buildingwithpurpose https://t.co/o868GV091N

"A student that is pursuing a career field that he or she feels passionate about has a far different educational experience than one who is drifting aimlessly through the K-12 experience." https://t.co/Gps0QcOYJ6

[Build Your Future @BuildYourFuture]

41% of the current construction workforce will retire by 2031 as the last of the Baby Boomer generation leaves the industry. Who will replace them?

[NAHB 🏠 @NAHBhome]

Trade work is becoming an attractive opportunity for high-paying salaries that don’t require a four-year degree (and the student debt that often comes with it). Of the 10 occupations expected to see the most growth through 2026, only one requires a degree. https://t.co/8YzfxSUICj

Part of what the students have to do is submit their resumes credentials for scoring. Here’s our team of judges reviewing and scoring everything the students submitted. #SHED2019 #2019SHED @WCPSS @michellecfsnc @ABC11_WTVD @WRAL @WNCN

Need a shed at home, at the office, at the shop, at the hunting camp or at the job site? Why not buy one of ours? You can even watch it being built! #SHED2019 #2019SHED https://t.co/jJmh4Bkw5W
