100 Black Men of South Florida Career Fair & College Expo

On Thursday, October 30, 2014, the Masonry Education Foundation’s Julio Vazquez (Apprentice Coordinator) and Deb Bartolucci (Marketing & Education) attended the 100 Black Men of South Florida’s 4th Annual Career Fair & College Expo at the Miami Dade Fairgrounds. The event was well attended with over 4000 area high school students bused in from around the county. The students had been prepped by the 100 Black Men of South Florida organization as part of their mentoring program, and brought their resumes, SAT scores and a professional attitude in hopes to impress the colleges, trade schools and area employers in attendance. The MEF interviewed several current NCCER pre-apprentice candidates and consequently has a new list of potential masonry apprentices for the Miami program that is held at William H. Turner Technical Arts High School. For more information, please contact Julio Vazquez Julio@masonryeducation.org or Deb Bartolucci deb@floridamasonry.com
