We had a great time last week watching students from area schools roll up their sleeves and get hands-on with the trades! From welding, carpentry, electrical and HVAC to automotive and site work, students had the chance to try it all.

There’s nothing better than giving the next generation a chance to explore where a career in the skilled trades could take them! 🛠️👷

Thank you NMC for hosting Building Tomorrow!
