Tips for Entry :
1. During high school, in addition to your regular curriculum,
include courses in computer science (as you
will need these skills) and in business management
(as you may want to become an independent contractor
some day, and will need business expertise).
2. Learning how to communicate in both English and
Spanish is an additional useful skill. It is increasingly
important to be able to relay instructions and safety
precautions to workers with limited understanding
of English, and Spanish-speaking workers make up a
large part of the construction workforce in most areas
of the country.
3. While in high school, explore possible summer jobs
with contractors in the area of your interest to gain
hands-on experience as well as make potential useful
contacts for your future career.
