Inspiring the Next Generation of Skilled Trades
WalzCraft was proud to once again participate in Build My Future: Driftless Area, an annual hands-on career exploration event hosted by the La Crosse Area Builders’ Association at the Onalaska Omni Center.
Now in its fourth year, the event welcomed over 1,300 high school students from across the region. Students experienced a full day in the skilled trades, with opportunities to operate machinery, weld, lay brick, level concrete, and build structures—giving them real exposure to career paths they may not have otherwise considered.
Events like Build My Future play an important role in helping students explore alternatives to traditional post-secondary education. By providing hands-on experiences, they help spark interest in rewarding, high-demand careers within the skilled trades.
At the WalzCraft booth, students built mini mitered cabinet door frames, offering a glimpse into the craftsmanship and precision that goes into our products.
To add to the excitement, WalzCraft also hosted a giveaway featuring three custom mahogany cutting boards paired with Target gift cards. Congratulations to the winners!
We’re grateful to be part of an event that continues to grow and make a meaningful impact on the future workforce. Thank you to all of our team members who helped make this year’s event a success!
