Skilled Trades #555 Explorer Post Wraps up a Great Year
Rochester, NY –

The Skilled Trades Explorer Post had a great “welcome back” year following a nearly 3-year pause due to Covid. Students from local Rochester area schools wrapped up the Skilled Trades Exploring Post at American Equipment/Villager Construction last week, learning about heavy equipment operator careers.

The year-long program exposes students to the various skilled trades with hands on training in each trade. Students traveled across the area, visiting a different host contractor each month including the areas of carpentry, masonry, electrical, heavy equipment operator, HVAC. Students also had the opportunity learn about welding in a special 6-hour introduction class at Rochester Arc & Flame. Owners of the local businesses welcomed students to give them career insights, guidance on the opportunities available in their respective trade, while developing trade specific skills.

Nathan Yohon, was presented with the Post’s scholarship, a senior at Hope Hall who will be working on his dream to become an electrician like his Grandfather!

The Post is sponsored by Associated General Contractors of New York, Merit Apprenticeship Alliance, Merit Alliance Construction Training Institute, Admar Construction Equipment &Supplies, and GMR Associates, Inc.

The Post kicks off for the 2023-2024 year Tuesday, September 19, 2023. If you have an interested child age 14-20, consider signing them up! The Post offers a scholarship to a senior each year, pursuing a career in the skilled trades, whether it be college/technical school, apprenticeship, or even direct employment.
