P R O C L A M A T I O N
WHEREAS, "Careers in Construction" is an annual, month-long initiative to help
increase public and student awareness of construction-related professions;
and
WHEREAS, the Collier Building Industry Foundation (CBIF), the philanthropic arm of
the Collier Building Industry Association (CBIA) in collaboration with the
Collier County Public Schools (CCPS), will work together throughout the
2022-2023 school year to introduce CCPS students through hands-on
activities to the vast employment opportunities in the construction-related
fields; and
WHEREAS, the construction industry is one of our nation's largest industries,
employing more than five million individuals in the U.S. and one of the four
highest employment sectors represented in Collier County; and
WHEREAS, CBIF and CCPS are pleased to partner in providing high school students an
enhanced awareness and understanding of construction-related fields
through a county-wide career fair and a “shadowing day.” These activities
provide students the opportunity to meet with construction professionals,
discuss careers in the field, and have exposure to on-the-job learning
through job site visits; and
WHEREAS, our goals are to effectively address some of the issues that have
contributed to chronic labor shortages and misperceptions of careers in
construction, expand networking contacts for potential summer employment
and/or internships, and assist in developing a skilled workforce for the
future; and
WHEREAS, these initiatives will enrich students' educational experience by offering
them first-hand exposure to the real-world careers, skill requirements,
and opportunities associated with the building industry right here in Collier
County;
NOW THEREFORE, be it proclaimed by the Board of County Commissioners of Collier
