Fairfield Avenue Apartments Informational Session & Employment Fair
This is a local community event being hosted by KAST Construction at the St Pete Technical College – across the street from our Fairfield Avenue Apartments Project (affordable housing project currently under construction). The goal is to connect the local community with opportunities to learn more about the project, available upcoming, and careers in the construction trades. As part of the event, we are planning to give each stakeholder the opportunity to speak, then have the Associated Builders and Contractors speak about apprenticeship opportunities and careers in construction and finally turn the event into a reverse trade show where attendees can walk around and meet the various parties involved in the project. As part of the event, we are inviting all of the contractors / trade partners working on the project to participate in the reverse trade show / career fair.
