Building Beyond Build On

*Pittsburgh building trades showed up in style at this year’s Build On ‘24. The two-day event hosted by the Builders Guild of Western Pennsylvania showcased the state’s construction trade unions and what a career with them looks like.

Almost 3000 students visited Build On this year and took part in interactive demonstrations to get a feel of what a career in the trades might be like. With the rising cost of college, young people need an alternative that sets them up for success. A career with one of western Pennsylvania’s construction trades gives students an opportunity to earn a union wage while receiving an on-the-job education from experienced instructors. Many in the Gen Z demographic have already made the switch from traditional four-year college to an apprenticeship in the trades.

A special appearance by Pennsylvania Governor, Josh Shapiro, topped off an exceptional weekend, showing the true importance of these careers.
