Nick Smiley’s journey shows how construction can open doors to unexpected opportunities. He started out as an Arborist climbing trees, but a simple task helping his uncle sparked a passion for carpentry. That decision set him on a path that led to 15+ years as a carpenter. Today, he’s the Director of Workforce Development for Associated Builders & Contractors, Ohio Valley. Nick’s story is proof that construction doesn’t just build projects, it builds careers. 🔨 Where will construction take you? #NCCER #Construction #SkilledTrades #MissionMonday #ConstructionCareers
