0 Comments

 
​BATON ROUGE - The Pelican Chapter of Associated Builders and Contractors, Inc. today announced that representatives from 75 high schools and more than a dozen contractors will participate in Program Partners Signing Day to reinforce their commitment to develop the next generation of craft workers. A tour of the Baton Rouge Training Center will follow the signing.
 
“At ABC Pelican’s Signing Day, we bring together the job creators and educators to commit to the future of the construction industry, just like student-athletes commit to a college in the Spring,” said David Helveston, President and CEO of the Pelican Chapter of the Associated Builders and Contractors. “A craft career offers quality opportunities for Louisiana’s high school students, including a competitive salary and a chance to continue their education; look no further than the salaries for carpenters, electricians, and welders in our state. I hope you’ll join us as Louisiana educators and businesses re-affirm their commitment to prepare high school students to begin their careers in the construction industry.”
 
What: ABC Pelican’s Program Partners Signing Day brings together high schools and businesses committed to educating and providing necessary resources to entry-level craft workers in Louisiana. Schools and contractors will sign this yearly agreement to re-affirm a strong relationship in developing the next generation of craft workers. Educators will “sign” to align their teaching materials to meet industry demands for an entry-level craft worker and contractors will “sign” to provide the tools, materials, and personnel required to meet those goals.
           
Who: Representatives from approximately 75 Louisiana high schools in 16 districts and from these contractor organizations: Excel Group, MMR Constructors, Inc., TRIAD Electric & Controls, ISC Constructors LLC, Performance Contractors, Inc., Turner Industries, Brown & Root Industrial Services LLC, APTIM, Cajun Industries LLC, Westgate LLC, Primoris Services Corporation, Pala Interstate LLC, Jacobs Field Services and Ardent Services LLC.
            
When: Tuesday, September 11, 8:30 a.m. – 10:30 a.m.
 
Where: ABC Pelican Baton Rouge Training Center, Orientation Lab (19251 Highland Rd., Baton Rouge, LA 70820)
