Student Chapter Job Fair at Builders’ Show Expected to Be the Largest Ever

More than 25 companies so far have signed up for the annual recruitment event, which for a decade has been one of the highlights of the many activities conducted at the convention by the Home Builders Institute, the workforce development arm of NAHB.

Participating employers also provide exhibits on their companies, many of them rivaling the size of exhibitor booths on the main convention floor.

“Toll Brothers has hired hundreds of top notch students from the NAHB Job Fair,” said Jay R. Lehman, the company’s director of national recruiting. “Over the years, this job fair has helped Toll Brothers hire people who contribute to our reputation as the leading luxury home builder in the country.”

Toll Brothers has participated in the event since 1996, and recently came on board as an NAHB Student Chapters corporate partner.

Featured in May’s Big Builder magazine, the Building Careers Job Fair has connected many construction management students from top schools and universities with their first job, whether as a start-up internship or a full-time position.

This year’s fair will be held on Friday, Jan. 14, in the South Hall of the Orange County Convention Center starting at 2:00 p.m.

Companies interested in participating can sign up until Dec. 31, and they will receive five free job postings in the Building Careers Job Bank. For more information on registration and to view a list of participating companies, click here.

Spearheaded by the NAHB Student Chapters program, the Building Careers Job Bank is a resource that links the talents of chapter members who are looking for jobs with employment opportunities within the NAHB federation. There is no charge for job seekers, and a minimal fee is charged for job postinhgs based on a 30-day run; special rate packages are available to member companies that are posting more than one position.
