New mentoring program introduces students to building careers

High school students stepped between ice puddles on the concrete floor of the future Eide Bailly Center Tuesday afternoon.

Frigid temperatures and walloping winds have made construction more challenging, but Holtz told the students solving those challenges also strengthens the camaraderie of the construction workers.
