Metcalf Builders Engages Youth through Educational Site Visits
Metcalf Builders recently hosted a site visit for youth from the Boys & Girls Club of Truckee Meadows, providing an educational opportunity at two of its ongoing construction projects in Reno: the Afton affordable housing development and the Holiday Inn Express hotel project. This initiative aimed to give students a comprehensive view of large-scale construction operations while inspiring potential career paths in building trades and construction management.
During the tour, Metcalf team members guided participants through each site, detailing the construction process and the various roles involved in executing community-focused developments. “Giving young people the opportunity to see real projects in action is one of the most impactful ways we can spark interest in construction and the trades,” stated Bryce Clutts, president and CEO of Metcalf Builders. He emphasized the company’s commitment to opening its job sites to local students, illustrating how these projects contribute to the future of the community.
