Nigro Construction delivers tools to construction technology students at Southeast Career and Technical Academy
Today, Nigro Construction delivered 1,445 tools and $1,900 in monetary donations to construction technology students at Southeast Career and Technical Academy (SECTA), helping support hands-on learning as they prepare to enter Southern Nevada’s workforce.
The donation marks the close of Careers in Construction Month, observed each October, and Nigro’s annual ‘Tools for Trades’ Drive.
The community-wide initiative aims to reduce barriers to entering the construction and skilled trades by equipping high school students with the professional-grade tools they will use in the field. With a tool in hand for every lesson, students spend less time sharing equipment and more time developing technical skills, building confidence, and gaining real-world experience through hands-on projects and construction competitions.
“These tools really mean a lot to us. The main thing with career and technical education is building, especially in this construction major,” said Patrick Ray, a senior construction student at SECTA. “It’s all about building, and when we are given these tools, they help facilitate our success in moving into the workforce and becoming productive citizens.”
