We've had a jam-packed last few days with our Building Industries at Sierra College bootcamp students. First, we'd like to thank Griselda, the HR Director, at Interior Logic Group who volunteered her time to go over what a strong resume looks like as these students prepare for the working world. We held the resume workshop over zoom and gave these students an opportunity to experience what a potential zoom interview would look like! Then we had Shaneen with Alcal Specialty Co...ntracting who came in to discuss the opportunities with Alcal. Students saw what goes into fabricating glass windows and doors, as well as insulation and garage doors. We also had Diane from Western Electrical Contractors Association (WECA) who discussed the options available for electrical apprenticeships. The students learned what pathways they could take as well as the pros of becoming a journeyman! Lastly, our students got to tour Cosentino's warehouse and see the final stages of homebuilding where finishing touches are selected. The warehouse showed different granite and quartz materials that buyers choose for their homes. Thank you so much to these four amazing companies who volunteered their time to give the students a better idea of #CareersinConstruction!

Trade Tuesday's: L&S Framing Inc. are a framing company that does so much more and helps support the Foundation. They participated in our afterschool workshops with local school districts and hosted several of our summer interns throughout the years. They showed the students what #CareersinConstruction look like when you're in framing in homebuilding and how you get to work with your hands and tools daily. Thank you for all of your support these past years!

Residential homebuilding is a special and rewarding career. The Building Talent Foundation created this amazing video that shows #CareersinConstruction and why it means so much to them.

SURVEY SUNDAY: Congratulations again to Paul, for paying attention and participating in our survey Sundays! For this week, we visited Villara with our Sierra College bootcamp students what did the students learn while they were there?

With the holiday season just a month away, it’s important to note one of our community service projects that involves our Out of School Youth's and families who are in need. Project: My Own Bed was started when one of our volunteers Nicholas Winn noticed that children in the Sac area didn't have beds to sleep on at night. In its inaugural year, we gave 44 children a place to sleep. Please think of us as the giving season approaches.
