Portland Trades Day

The Construction Industry Education Foundation (CIEF) is excited about the 2024 Portland Trades Day Event – A Day for Construction Career Exploration! Trades Day introduces high school youth to industry career opportunities in construction, design, sub-contracting, heavy equipment, engineering, and other skilled trades. We hope you – our partners from the skilled trades, industry, training, post-secondary programs, and others – will join us to inspire local students to pursue careers in construction. Bring a hands-on activity for students to explore all the industry has to offer; teach them how to swing a hammer, try their hand at mixing cement, scale a wall for roofing, or throw on some PPE and get them welding. Anything to get their hands and minds moving! For more information regarding Portland Trades Day, visit www.cie.foundation/portland. Take part in an exciting opportunity to pass along what excites you about your profession!
