Have you ever wondered what it feels like to operate an excavator or forklift? Here's your opportunity to find out.
Southwestern Community College's adult and continuing education department, in cooperation with IowaWORKS, is bringing a construction simulator to the Technical Center parking lot on campus, 1501 W Townline Street in Creston, on June 29 and 30, from 8 a.m.-4 p.m.
Girls and women are highly encouraged to attend this event, which is being funded by the Walmart Foundation. All ages are welcome! Statistics show 10 percent of all workers in the construction industry are women. Efforts like these will help those numbers continue to grow.
A donation lunch will be provided from 11 a.m.-1 p.m., by Creston IJAG and the East Union Art Club.
