A three-day interactive event, called Future Building, running Tuesday to Thursday at Mississauga's International Centre is aiming to introduce more than 9,000 central Ontario students in Grades 7 to 12 to the trades. Virtual reality simulators at the event will allow students to use a crane from three floors up, and try out painting and welding as well as several other construction careers.
