Career and Technical Education Month: County Materials Supports Hands-on Learning Opportunities for Students

Written by Admin | Feb 1, 2022

Career and Technical Education Month is held every February to prepare students for rewarding, high-demand careers in several industries, including manufacturing. Industry professionals and educators work together to align students with career opportunities available to them upon graduation. 

Careers in skilled trades offer stability and serve a greater purpose, as they make our communities safer and stronger and provide an economic benefit to local economies. Students are often introduced to careers in manufacturing, construction, mechanics, and masonry through technical education courses. County Materials is committed to provide resources and opportunities to students through classroom product donations and plant tours. These experiences increase the value of technical education programs and help students gain hands-on skills they can leverage beyond the classroom.

County Materials is a leading manufacturer and industry resource for concrete construction and landscape products. Each day, our team members help manufacture resilient products that are used to build growing communities. Our team members are the backbone of our company, and we are proud to provide them reliable employment, competitive wages, and health and financial benefits.
