Despite record-breaking rainfall, the 2012 Fresno Construction Career Awareness Day (CCAD,) sponsored by AGC of California, scored a record of its own of 1,100 students from 30 local high schools – the highest number of students and schools to ever participate in the Fresno CCAD.
Held last month at the Fresno Fairgrounds, the CCAD event provided an excellent forum for high school students to learn about various career paths and the training and education necessary in the construction industry. In addition to the rain, the event also brought in a record number of exhibitors and sponsors with 25 different companies, colleges and training and apprenticeship programs participating.
