CONEXPO-CON/AGG has joined several stakeholders to highlight career opportunities within the construction sector.
October is Careers in Construction which highlights the impact of the professionals in the construction sector which builds the infrastructure many rely on.
“The future of construction is bright, but it’s also being built right now in classrooms, in apprenticeships, and on job sites across the country,” CONEXPO-CON/AGG show director Dana Wuesthoff said.
“This month, we’re celebrating not just the equipment and innovation that define CONEXPO-CON/AGG, but the skilled individuals and employers who bring it all to life. We’re inviting the industry to invest in people as much as in machines.”
Held every three years and returning March 3–7, 2026, in Las Vegas, Nevada, CONEXPO-CON/AGG is North America’s largest construction trade show, where 150,000 industry professionals gather to experience the latest equipment, technology, and education.
Throughout October, CONEXPO-CON/AGG encourages construction professionals, employers, and educators to engage with their communities and inspire the next generation of tradespeople. Suggested activities include:
- Mentoring young professionals or students exploring the industry
- Hosting site tours or speaking at career fairs and high schools
- Sharing personal stories on social media using the #CICM hashtag
- Promoting safety and professional development on the job site
- Supporting training programs through local outreach, upskilling, apprenticeships, internships or sponsorships
