The School of Construction at Pittsburg State University readies to host its annual expo. Over the last few years, the expo has grown into one of the largest in the region.  The event at the Kansas Technology Center tomorrow and Wednesday, (April 16-17), features live demonstrations, student competitions, more than 107 exhibitors from across the nation, and an anticipated 800 guests from across the region.  The expo also serves as a link between the industry and prospective hires as young as high school. In past years, according to KTC, Pitt State students have received job offers on the spot

The expo will include two distinguished keynote speakers. William Praderio, the vice president of Massman Construction Company, will speak on Tuesday afternoon. The Executive President of the Associated General Contractors of America Dirk Elsperman will be the expo’s keynote speaker on Wednesday.
