MCAA's High School Recruitment Campaign is in full swing.

The new school year is in full swing, and so is the MCAA's High School Recruitment Campaign. As part of this campaign, we advertise the availability of Masonry Career presentations to over 1,200 high school guidance counselors nationwide, on a quarterly basis. The beginning of the school year is always a busy time for this program, and this year is no exception.

To date we have received over 40 requests for masonry career presentations at high schools throughout the country for this school year. As these requests come in, the MCAA contacts local contractors, groups and affiliates to identify someone to conduct these presentations.

If you or someone you know locally is interested in conducting career presentations in your area, please contact Melissa Polivka at the MCAA. She can provide you with local high school information and materials to help you put on a great Masonry Careers event.
