Looking to connect with the workforce of tomorrow to impact brand awareness? Want to engage with youth while also enhancing perception of the skilled trades?
Consider attending the Association of Equipment Manufacturer’s (AEM) Workforce Solutions Area at ConExpo.
Experience a trade
The Workforce Solutions Area invites ConExpo attendees and exhibitors — along with association members, job seekers and local students — to experience a trade right on the show floor.
In addition, participants will learn about the industry and take away best practice ideas from what will be an interactive workforce pavilion.
“It’s critical for the equipment manufacturing industry and the construction market it serves to do what it takes to engage the workforce of tomorrow to consider embarking on a career in the skilled trades,” said AEM director of workforce development Julie Davis.
“Our Workforce Solutions Area will provide a uniquely valuable opportunity to learn how to make a memorable connection with young people by tapping into kinesthetic learning methods that excite a hands-on workforce.”
Passport Program
AEM is looking for interested ConExpo Festival Grounds exhibitors to participate in a Passport Program designed to help them refine their workforce development techniques, while simultaneously increasing brand awareness and promoting the skilled trades.
Exhibitors participating in the Passport Program would see 250 to 500 student attendees visit their area in the Festival Lot on Thursday or Friday of ConExpo.
