About the event
Have you ever wanted to know more about getting into the building trades but don't know where to start or what options are out there? Are you someone who doesn't see yourself often reflected in trades, or are curious about how it is to navigate those spaces?

What to Expect
This event is meant to be a casual opportunity to meet and talk with people in different trade work. Each trade will have information about how to join, what the work is like, and what's involved in being in that specific trade. Different trades will have demo's that shed insight into what the work may include.
A sampled of trades that will be represented
Pipefitters
Carpenters
Ironworkers
Tile setters and Bricklayers
Electricians
