Central Arkansas Build My Future

Construction Career Day and Industry Showcase

Hosted by the Associated Builders & Contractors of Arkansas

Mark your calendars for ABC's Inaugural Build My Future event on April 18, 2024!

Build My Future gives students the opportunity to spend a day in the Construction Industry through an interactive showcase of hands-on exhibits including activities in construction, engineering, heavy equipment operating, virtual reality simulations, welding, and more!

97% of students surveyed after attending a similar event had a neutral or positive opinion of a career in construction after attending the event.

Please consider becoming one of our exhibitors or sponsors to help expose local students from surrounding school districts to our industry!

Exhibitor booths are meant to be hands-on and interactive. This event is NOT a career fair, but a trade fair focused on activities that allow students to learn about the different trades. Exhibitors can work with students to demo tools or equipment; construct something, experience VR or simulators, etc. This is their chance to get a feel for what it's like to work in your trade!

Event setup for exhibitors will be on Wednesday, April 17, 2024. Large displays will be scheduled in the morning, with smaller displays filling in later in the day. Final setup is allowed between 6:30 am - 7:30 am on the day of the event, but all exhibits should be setup no later than 8:00 am.
