We are thankful for all of our sponsors and exhibitors from across the trades industry for continuing to inspire local students to pursue careers in skilled trades including, but not limited to, construction, design, subcontracting, heavy equipment, transportation, and engineering. If you would like to be a part of Trades Day, join us! Bring a hands-on activity for students to explore all your industry has to offer. Teach them how to swing a hammer, try their hand at mixing concrete, scale a wall for roofing, or throw on some PPE and get them welding ― anything to get their hands and minds moving!
