BAC Local 23 Akron Field Representative Tom Dieringer, with cooperation from Higley Construction and Norm King Masonry, arranged for students from John R. Buchtel CLC College & Career Academy to visit the construction site of the new Akron Zoo Veterinary Hospital for an experiential learning day.

Twenty four students spent over two hours working with union bricklayers currently building the new Vet Hospital. This is an incredible opportunity to get new young people excited about a career in bricklaying and helps to show the power of the union.

Dieringer also held another experiential learning day at the Brunswick High School project last week with students from the same program.
