We’re looking for businesses that are focused on the Skilled Trades including construction, electricians, plumbing, welding, carpentry, HVAC, and any organization where Skilled Trades professionals contribute to innovative solutions.

Through informal conversations and engaging displays, you’ll inspire students, broaden their awareness of career options, and highlight your company’s role in shaping Lancaster’s future workforce.
