What Construction Career Fits You Best?
The “What Construction Career Fits You Best?” poster is an interactive career exploration activity that helps students discover the wide variety of opportunities available within the construction industry. Participants answer a series of simple preference-based questions and track whether they select mostly A’s, B’s, or C’s.
Based on their results, they receive a customized career handout tailored to one of three pathways: Skilled Trades & Equipment Careers (including Electrician, Plumber, Carpenter, Welder, and Equipment Operator), Project Management & Leadership Careers (such as Construction Manager, Site Supervisor, and Foreman), or Design, Engineering & Inspection Careers (including Architect, Civil Engineer, Drafter, and Building Inspector).
Each handout provides valuable career information, including typical entry-level, mid-career, and experienced wages, common credentials and degree requirements, and the average annual cost of living across Buncombe, Henderson, Madison, and Transylvania counties. This engaging activity helps students connect their interests to real career opportunities and is an excellent addition to career fairs, construction career days, workforce expos, trade shows, and other career-focused events.
