Ridgefield high school students were invited to connect with and speak to multiple trade professionals
about future job opportunities as they explore their post K-12 options
Electricians, sheet metal fabricators, and more industry representatives provided information and met with students.
All students were required to get their trade show “passports” stamped - encouraging them to explore options in all aspects of the trades.
One student commented to R&C about the role of project managers, “It did not even occur to me that this kind of work was out there.”
The district coupled this event with a ribbon cutting of their new construction skills center and hope to make this an annual student opportunity.
