ACI Construction Career Days (CCD) is the largest construction-based career exploration and hiring event in Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana, and one of the largest in the nation.

Thousands of middle and high school students from across the region attend ACI Construction Career Days each year, and hundreds of eligible students attend ACI Signing Day, directly following the event. Construction Career Days and Signing Day make a direct connection between youth and hiring companies, resulting in actual hires for our industry.

ACI Construction Career Days highlights the many facets of the built environment and allows students to experience a variety of trades as they engage with the area’s top employers, educators, trade schools, and apprenticeship programs.

For information about exhibiting, or if you are an educator or community organization interested in attending in 2027, contact Kimberly Spreder, Workforce Solutions Manager: kspreder@aci-construction.org.

In 2025, Cincinnati Mayor Aftab Pureval spoke to industry leaders and media. In 2024, Ohio Lt. Governor (now Senator) Jon Husted toured the event and presented ACI with a commendation for Construction Career Days. See the video he recorded on site above.
