Checkout this recent CBS News feature that shines a light on how artificial intelligence is reshaping the world of work — and how students in the trades are leading the way!
The story features Kayden Evans, a Mountain View High School student who completed a summer internship with Advantage Reline and is now interning with Empire CAT. Kayden’s journey shows how hands-on experiences in the trades prepare students to thrive in a future where technology and innovation go hand in hand.
As David Asay, President of Advantage Reline, shared in the CBS interview:
“The perception among that younger group is no longer, ‘Oh, you’re working construction, you didn’t go to school?’ It’s, ‘What a cool skillset. You’re making a good career path.’”
This powerful perspective reflects the changing mindset around skilled trades — careers that blend technical expertise, problem-solving, and purpose.
Thank you to companies like Advantage Reline and Empire CAT who provide students with real-world experiences that connect classroom learning to future-ready careers.
