Tremco CPG Construction Trade Week 2023 Celebrates a Week of Building Futures: Success Stories, Partnerships, and Industry Insights

BEACHWOOD, Ohio, Dec. 8, 2023 /PRNewswire/ - Tremco CPG's Construction Week 2023 kicks off on Tuesday, December 5 and runs through to Thursday, December 14.

Events are taking place in four different cities: Brooklyn, New York; Newark, New Jersey; Boston, Massachusetts; and Charlotte, North Carolina. 

The program includes a trade show, seminars, workshops, and networking opportunities for a wide-ranging group of participants from various parts of the construction industry.

Also in attendance will be recent graduates of Tremco CPG's Rising Stars program. With the industry facing a chronic labor shortage, Rising Stars empowers the next generation of underrepresented youth to find careers in the construction industry. Open to young people 18- to 24-years-old, Rising Stars has two components.

The Youth Development Program provides participants with an overview of the career opportunities in construction and skilled trades. Through a mix of seminars and hands-on activities, participants are also exposed to key industry terms and concepts. Sessions include topics ranging from building science and the impacts of climate change, to indoor air quality subjects and mock job interviews.

The Next Level Contractor Program offers training for minority and women-owned contracting companies on business best-practices, new construction technologies and innovative building methods to expand their service offerings and capacity for growth. 

Business owners will have the opportunity to meet with – and recruit – these trained, eager young people looking to join the industry.
