NABWIC

In addition to National Industry Day, NABWIC also supports Career and Industry Days within their local state jurisdictions.  Career and Industry days provide students with professional role models who use the days as a platform to share with the students some of their life experiences, possible career roadmaps, techniques for skills development and gives them the opportunity to network with professionals.

 

The professionals are primarily from occupations supported by “STEM”…science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

 

NABWIC participates in several state and local Department of Transportation events. One key event is Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Construction Career Days which is a workforce development tool that introduces high school students to the transportation construction industry and supports the pipeline that will provide the professionals of tomorrow.

Construction professionals and business owners often need a variety of communication tools to be their business running smoothly, effectively and economically.  Join Robert Barrera with Real Mobile as he talks about his entrepreneurial venture, what it means to be a NABWIC member and communications solutions for small to mid-size business owners.

NABWIC Talks Financial Matters with Tylene Henry

Women are givers by nature – especially when it comes to money. They may delay getting dental work to buy school clothes. Or put careers on hold to raise children and care for aging parents. And they might help pay for their kids’ college tuition at the expense of their own retirement savings.

Such choices may be selfless, but they also put women in a precarious financial position.
