Trades Fair Exploration
Students in grades 6-12 were invited to the WLHS Trades Fair on January 23, where a wide range of skilled trade and tech colleges were in attendance for questions, discovery, and demonstrations. Students were invited to explore hands-on activities such as welding and electrical circuit projects. Discussions with industry professionals provided valuable insights into the recommended career paths for students' specific area of interest. We thank our local businesses who took part in the trades fair, including:
Quad, JP Cullen, Arbon Equipment (a Rite-Hite Company), Ironworkers Local 8, Krones, Coello & Associates, Inc., Youth Apprenticeship, Next Electric LLC., Milwaukee Area Sheet Metal JATC, LIUNA Wisconsin Laborers, ABC of Wisconsin Apprenticeship, Glenn Rieder, LLC, Milwaukee Area Technical College (MATC), Waukesha County Technical College (WCTC), Straight Line Auto Upholstery, Derse, Inc., Building Advantage, AMCSI, Plumbing Mechanical Sheet Metal Contractors Alliance (PMSMCA), Enerpac, Krueger Bearings, Lemberg Electric, Milwaukee Electrical JATC, and Ultra Tool.
Events like this expose our students to career-based learning, Youth Apprenticeship, Registered Apprenticeship, Dual Credit Opportunities, and possible full-time jobs.
"The WLHS Trade Show is yet another opportunity to show our students that skilled trades can lead to long-lasting, rewarding careers. We truly enjoy the cooperation between the school and local businesses. What’s really neat about this event is the opportunity to hear the stories of our alumni. They come back to not only share their current professions but also their career path journeys. To witness that connection and see the look in the students’ eyes as they realize where they can serve our Lord—that’s what makes this event and the ministry at Wisconsin Lutheran High School so special," said Grey Davis, Director of Student Services at Wisconsin Lutheran High School.
