Nevada Contractors Association is dedicated to promoting the construction industry and all of the careers within it. As the industry is booming but is also at a shortage of workers, the NCA has started several initiatives to educate local middle and high school students on what the industry has to offer and the infinite available career opportunities within it!
Current Workforce Development Initiatives:
Career Fairs
NCA and CTEC members attend local career fairs to promote the industry, provide career and wage information, and educate students of the lucrative careers within the construction industry.
Michael T. Martin Memorial Scholarships
Students eager to pursue a construction career though college, trade school or educational programs/certifications, we offer multiple scholarships to help make your educational dreams come true! Click Here for more information.

Tool Drop Scholarships
Through our collaboration with dedicated CCSD teachers and counselors, junior and senior students can be nominated to receive a grand display of power activated tools to help further their construction skills and creativity.
Industry Professionals Panel Discussions
In partnership with the Nevada State Contractors Board, CTEC hosts several panel discussions throughout the school year.
Our panel of construction experts provide insight and new perspectives to students on the construction industry.
Construction Career Day 2021: 10/20/2023
Construction Career Day was a great success this year. Students were able to spend time with each exhibitor and learn about the different careers within the construction industry. We had over 70 exhibitors who had machinery, simulators and more. We are extremely grateful to all the exhibitors, sponsors, CCSD, CSN and volunteers. We look forward to next year with more students and more exhibitors.
Counselor Meetings
NCA conducts meetings with counselors to tell them about what skills/classes/certifications are necessary for construction jobs, as well as scholarship opportunities, wage information, and how to get a job in our industry.
Principal/CTE Coordinator Meetings
NCA conducts meeting with high school Principals and CTE Coordinators to discuss and help implement construction curriculum in local schools.
Construction Classroom Renovations/Donations of Materials
NCA has participated in renovating classrooms to help implement construction curriculum in schools such as Lied STEM Academy for their Construction program. As well as helping additional schools to acquire necessary materials for their programs to succeed, such as raising donations for Desert Rose High School's program to supply the students with proper PPE.
