1,200 Students Experience the Trades in Waukesha County

For more than a decade, the Waukesha County Business Alliance has worked to develop our future workforce by exposing students to the career opportunities available in our region. With manufacturing and construction being driver industries in Waukesha County, the Alliance was proud to ignite students’ passion for the trades through our third annual Experience the Trades expo.

Experience the Trades was hosted at the Waukesha County Expo Center and provided over 1,200 middle and high school students from Waukesha County and beyond the opportunity to meet over 30 local manufacturing and construction employers. Students got to ‘try on’ the trades through interactive and hands-on demonstrations.

This year’s expo was a remarkable showcase of the collaboration that can happen when business and educational institutions come together. Thank you to the schools, businesses and sponsors who made Experience the Trades a great success!
