🔨 Help Us Build the Future: Join the 8th Grade Career Fair!

We’re thrilled to announce our first-ever full partnership with the Rapid City Area Schools (RCAS) for the 8th Grade Career Fair—and we’re inviting all Black Hills Home Builders Association members to take part in this exciting initiative!

Whether you’re in construction, insurance, banking, baking, or beyond—your business has a story worth sharing. This hands-on, high-energy event connects students with real professionals and real career paths they may not even know exist.

Let’s flood these students with our members’ industries and show them who we are as the Black Hills Home Builders Association. From job sites to storefronts, back offices to creative studios—our members build this community in more ways than one.

💡 Why Should You Get Involved?

🚧 Help Students Discover What's Possible.
Most 8th graders have no idea what jobs are out there—or how to get there. Your story could help them see a path forward.

📣 Represent Your Business & Your Industry.
Showcase what you do, connect with the community, and position your business as a local leader and opportunity-maker.

🙌 It's Not Just About the Trades.
Yes, we need electricians and framers—but we also need marketers, accountants, IT pros, designers, suppliers, and service providers. If your work supports the building industry, it matters.

🎉 Be Part of a Big First.
This is our first full collaboration with RCAS, and your involvement sets the tone for future engagement, visibility, and workforce development.

🧰 What We’re Looking For:

• Interactive, hands-on activities (Tool demos, design challenges, taste samples, mock estimates—get creative!)

• Enthusiastic representatives who can explain what they do and why it matters

• A couple hours of your time—and your passion for your work

Ready to Inspire?

Let’s help students see that there are many ways to build a future—and that every part of our industry plays a role.
Together, let’s make a lasting impression and inspire the next generation of our workforce.
