The Wisconsin State Legislature has introduced Assembly Joint Resolution 97, which proclaims October 2025 as Careers in Construction Month. This initiative aims to raise public awareness and appreciation for construction craft professionals and the broader construction workforce, which constitutes nearly 6 percent of Wisconsin's employment. The resolution highlights the construction industry as a significant career opportunity, emphasizing pathways for individuals to start as general laborers, advance through apprenticeships, and potentially become their own bosses. It also underscores the importance of construction jobs in building essential infrastructure, such as homes, schools, and hospitals, while addressing the industry's need for nearly 500,000 new craft professionals by 2026.

During Careers in Construction Month, the resolution encourages employers, associations, and educational institutions to host job fairs, panel discussions, and community events to inform students about the diverse employment opportunities available in the construction sector. The resolution recognizes the hard work and dedication of construction craft professionals and their vital role in the ongoing development and maintenance of Wisconsin.
