Construction industry events have been happening all over the United States and have been a wild success! We are excited to bring this community event to Columbia for our youth and adults looking toward the future. This construction career and industry showcase event includes hands-on exhibits and virtual reality simulations in all areas of construction, including architecture, bricklaying, heavy equipment, tile laying, welding, plumbing, Project Management, HVAC, and much more.
