Trades Academy

Goal

Create a luminated pathway straight to the workforce that is just as clear and effective as the pathway to college.

 A group of students and an instructor stand together in a workshop setting.

Core Focus

  • Educate students and parents about the lucrative employment opportunities in the trades.
  • Provide a space for Trades Partners to teach, and mentor, LCSD#1 students.
