Taylor McCabe, of McCabe Enterprises, an electrical contractor, was one of four contractors on a job site at Brickhouse Corners in Pembroke to introduce students to the building trades.
Owner and developer Randy Fancher said he and his brother thought their mixed-use development -- retail and apartments -- was a good job site to show young people what a construction site is like and hear about the kind of work available in different facets of construction.
Besides electrical, students -- and their parents and grandparents -- learned about drywall, HVAC, and plumbing.
"We're letting kids know there are opportunities in the building trades," Fancher said.
