Build My Future® STL first launched in the St. Louis area last spring and was a wild success! This construction career and industry showcase event includes hands-on exhibits and virtual reality simulations in architecture, construction, bricklaying, heavy equipment, tile laying, welding, plumbing, HVAC and much more.
This year, the event will again take place at the St. Charles Family Arena but will be spread over two days – Wednesday, April 26 and Thursday, April 27. More than 1,300 high school students will visit each day from 9 a.m. – 2 p.m. On Wednesday, April 26, the event will open to the general public from 3-5 p.m. with the hope that interested students will invite their parents to visit with them and provide an opportunity for recent high school graduates still considering their next steps, or anyone considering a career change, to learn more about the trades in a fun, interactive environment.
