The 5th Annual Build My Future Lee County was an incredible success — inspiring the next generation of builders, innovators, and leaders in Southwest Florida. Hosted at JetBlue Park, the event welcomed hundreds of students, educators, industry partners, and community supporters, all united in showcasing the exciting career opportunities available in construction and the skilled trades.
Students from across Lee and Hendry counties — including traditional, charter, and technical schools — participated in hands-on demonstrations in welding, electrical systems, HVAC, carpentry, concrete finishing, heavy equipment operation, and more. With direct guidance from industry experts, students experienced real-world job tasks and explored meaningful career pathways in high-demand trades.
