ARE YOU INTERESTED IN EXPLORING A CAREER IN THE TRADES?

trades-snip

Skilled trades play a crucial role in our daily lives. Without these skilled workers, we wouldn't have
essential infrastructure like paved roads, public buildings, homes, and automobiles that are vital to our society's prosperity. Despite their importance to the economy, there's been a decrease in skilled workers, partly due to the mistaken belief that a traditional degree is the only path to lasting success. Given these trends, now is an excellent time to consider a career in the skilled trades. These careers offer financial stability, opportunities for growth, and greater control over your schedule, location, and workload.

What you will gain:

OSHA-30 Certification
Transferable and in-demand skills
Interview with local employers upon completion

WHERE; MOHAWK VALLEY COMMUNITY COLLEGE
UTICA CAMPUS

WHEN: August 19th - 30th
