Volunteer at CCCD
Construction Career Days Wants You!
We are looking for volunteers! We need your help to make Colorado Construction Career Days a success. Get your company involved in developing our future construction industry workforce. We must continue to prepare a strong, well-trained workforce to prevent future shortages of skilled workers.
Over 500 volunteers from over 200 companies participated in last year's Construction Career Days. Volunteers are needed again this year. Volunteers do the planning, serve as student group leaders, organize and conduct activities, set up and dismantle the event, handle registration, safety, and more. The opportunities to have fun are many and varied!
