Metcalf Builders recently hosted a site visit for youth from the Boys & Girls Club of Truckee Meadows at two active construction projects in Reno: the Afton affordable housing development and the Holiday Inn Express hotel. This event offered students a firsthand glimpse into the construction industry, emphasizing potential career paths in building trades, project management, and construction leadership.
During the visit, team members from Metcalf guided participants through the sites, outlining the construction processes and detailing the various roles that contribute to community-focused developments. “Giving young people the opportunity to see real projects in action is one of the most impactful ways we can spark interest in construction and the trades,” stated Bryce Clutts, president and CEO of Metcalf Builders. Clutts expressed pride in opening job sites to local students, highlighting how these projects are shaping the future of the community.

The initiative aligns with Metcalf Builders’ commitment to education and community engagement. The company often collaborates with local nonprofits, schools, and workforce organizations throughout Northern Nevada to support workforce development initiatives. By providing these educational experiences, Metcalf aims to foster interest in construction careers among the younger generation.
The visit to the Afton project, which focuses on affordable housing, and the Holiday Inn Express, which aims to enhance local hospitality infrastructure, showcased the significance of such developments in the community. The students gained valuable insights into the complexities of construction and the collaborative efforts required to bring projects to life.
