Happy National Apprenticeship Week! 👏🔥

Skilled trades are built through hands-on learning, hard work, and the people willing to teach the next generation.

From high school work-based learning students to apprentices mastering their craft, every step matters.

At Jones Welding & Industrial Supplies, we’re proud to support the future of welding by investing in students, apprentices, and skilled trades education.

Special shoutout to our own student, Logan Story, from Lee County High School gaining real-world experience and learning the business from the ground up—we’re proud to be part of that journey.

Here’s to the future welders, fabricators, and industry leaders. 💪⚙️

🎓💙 Proud to Support Work-Based Learning! 💙🎓

The Veranda is proud to be a Work-Based Learning employer, and this year we had the pleasure of partnering with Lee County High School.

Regan Watkins spent the year with our team, getting a behind-the-scenes look at what patient care and the medical field are really like. Experiences like this give students valuable insight and hands-on learning as they continue their education and explore future careers.

This morning, our own Megan Watkins — and one very proud momma — joined Regan at the LCHS Work-Based Learning Appreciation Breakfast to celebrate the program and the students who participated.

We love being part of opportunities that help the next generation learn, grow, and discover their path!
