This unique event, held at the Bolton Fairgrounds in Lancaster, MA, exposes students to the many different career opportunities available in the field of remodeling. Through interactive, experiential activity stations, students will have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience with various tools and activities of the trade. This is a great opportunity for students to learn about the different careers available in the remodeling industry and to connect with businesses that may offer co-op or internship experiences during their construction program education.

“I like all of the hands-on experience and how we got to do most of the stuff that would most likely happen on a job site.”

“The most valuable was learning about the different types of tools because it was focused on the field of work I want.”
