A Day of Discovery: Students Explore the Trades
Amid the buzz of activity and the clatter of tools, the La Crosse Area Builders Association transformed an ordinary Wednesday into an extraordinary exploration of trades for over 1,000 high school students from 48 schools. The event, held on April 24, 2024, was a vibrant showcase of career pathways. At the heart of the event was the WalzCraft booth, where students became craftsmen, piecing together a small cabinet door that they could take home—a tangible reminder of their potential future in the trades. The booth buzzed with enthusiasm from start to finish.
The event was more than just building and welding; it was a canvas of creativity. Students did everything from working on a truck engine, painting a wall, laying bricks, and even decorated cookies. Each activity a stroke in the broader picture of construction and manufacturing careers. This is the second year WalzCraft has participated in the event. With the foundation laid this year, the future promises even more opportunities for students to hammer out their paths in the world of trades.
Thank you to all of our Team Members who made this event a success!
