NRCA member Tremco CPG Inc., Beachwood, Ohio, recently hosted a Rising Stars construction competition for high school students at its new Façade Fire Lab in Cleveland.
The after-school event was designed to spark Cleveland-area students’ interest in construction and homebuilding careers. Dave Marrs, co-host of HGTV’s “Fixer to Fabulous” home renovation show, attended the program and spoke about the skills needed for a successful career in the building industry. The students worked in teams to tackle a construction challenge that encouraged them to think like future builders, applying creativity and teamwork to bring their ideas to life.
The Rising Stars Program is a nonprofit that aims to close the skilled labor gap by connecting young adults with career pathways in construction. Click here to learn more about the Rising Stars Program.
