El pasado jueves celebramos la graduación de los estudiantes de nuestros programas de Preaprendizaje Juvenil (Youth Pre-Apprenticeship) y Next Gen.

Nos llena de orgullo ver cómo nuestros estudiantes crecen, desarrollan confianza en sí mismos y descubren un interés por los oficios de la construcción. Esperamos seguir de cerca el próximo capítulo de sus vidas, ya que algunos continuarán explorando oportunidades de aprendizaje (apprenticeship) después de graduarse de la escuela secundaria.

Agradecemos al equipo del McKenzie Regional Workforce Center de Boys & Girls Clubs of Dane County por crear esta oportunidad para nuestra juventud. También queremos reconocer especialmente al Wisconsin Laborers' District Council (LIUNA!) por desarrollar un currículo tan sólido para nuestros estudiantes.

Last Thursday, we celebrated the graduation of our Youth Pre-Apprenticeship and Next Gen Program students.

We are honored to see our students grow, build confidence, and develop an interest in the construction trades. We look forward to following their next chapter as some of them continue exploring apprenticeship opportunities after high school.

Thank you to the team at the McKenzie Regional Workforce Center of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Dane County for creating this opportunity for our youth. A special recognition goes to the Wisconsin Laborers' District Council (LIUNA!) for developing such a strong curriculum for our students to follow.
