MILFORD, MA<\/strong> – Hanging out in Ashland High School\u2019s auditorium on a hot spring evening isn\u2019t the usual stomping ground for either Consigli\u2019s General Superintendent John Laperle or mason Steve Price, but that\u2019s where you would have found them on a recent Wednesday, talking with students and parents at the school\u2019s first annual Career Night for The Building Trades and Architecture. John and Steve joined a panel of others from the industry, including an electrician from Griffin Electric, representatives from the carpenter and laborer unions, an architect and another general superintendent.<\/p>\n

Perhaps surprisingly, Ashland\u2019s Career Night, organized by a group of parents who want students to learn about career paths in the building industry, was as useful for the parents, as it was for the students. John noted, \u201cThe parents asked even more questions than the kids. You could tell they want to make sure their kids get to explore skilled trades as career options, but don\u2019t know where to start. For a lot of families, if you haven\u2019t grown up in a family in the trades, the way Steve and I both did, you probably just haven\u2019t had any exposure to the building industry, and don\u2019t know anyone to talk with about it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Steve, who joined the Bricklayer\u2019s Union, after earning a college degree and time in the military, said, \u201cIt\u2019s great to be able to let these kids know how fulfilling this work is. It really helps them to get to hear a lot more about what it\u2019s all about, first hand.\u201d<\/p>\n

Offering suggestions in response to one parent\u2019s question, \u201cHow can we figure out if my son or daughter might be interested in a trade? How do we figure out what it might be?\u201d John had some solid practical advice. Check out your local vocational high schools\u2014most of them have evening, weekend and summer programs for communities\u2014a perfect way for a high schooler to try their hand at almost every type of skilled trade, from carpentry, to masonry, plumbing, drafting or machine tool technology, to truly only name a few.<\/p>\n

With a shortfall of 2.5 million skilled workers projected by the U.S. Department of Labor by the end of 2017, many more career nights like this are needed to inspire the next generation of builders. For our part, we know encouraging a new wave of skilled tradespeople is our work, too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
