This Monday, Roseville High School students got to take a look into the construction industry through an immersive Virtual Reality experience at the Roseville Venture Lab!

Students explored construction-related careers, gained insight into the many opportunities within the industry, and participated in an engaging panel discussion with local industry professionals. The session offered a firsthand look at the skills, education, and career pathways that help build our communities.

A sincere thank you to the City of Roseville for its investment in the Roseville Venture Lab, and to the Roseville Area Chamber of Commerce’s Placer Workforce Development Foundation. Through this partnership, we are creating meaningful opportunities for students to explore careers, connect with local employers, and discover their futures right here in Placer County.

And a special thank you to our outstanding panelists for sharing their time, expertise, and real-world perspectives:

• Jarod Heath – Greyscale Architecture, Inc.
• Noah Duncan – Lawson SSP Group
• Isaac Mendoza – IMC Builders
• Manuel Fierro – Sierra College Enrollment Specialist

By connecting classroom learning with hands-on experiences and industry professionals, we're helping students envision their place in the workforce and building a stronger talent pipeline for our region.

With Election Day just around the corner on November 3rd, the Roseville Area Business Political Action Committee (RABPAC) and Roseville Area Issues Political Action Committee (RAIPAC) wants to ensure voters are informed on candidates and measures that can impact our regional business community. Please review their Voter Guide for the November Elections above or on the PAC webpage to gain more insight before reaching the ballot box.

​An important item on the ballot our business community has an opportunity to support is Proposition 45, the Building an Affordable California Act. Prop. 45 streamlines approval processes for essential projects including housing, roads, water infrastructure, hospitals, and clean energy by establishing clear timelines and reducing costly delays. The measure aims to help lower costs for families, consumers, and businesses while maintaining environmental, worker, and tribal protections and opportunities for public input.

Vote YES on Prop. 45, along with coalition members like CalChamber and California Building Industry Association, to support a more affordable California, a stronger business climate, and the infrastructure our communities need to thrive.
