Helena WINS invites the community to take a look at the trades

Dozens of students bussed in for the Helena WINS Construction and Trades Day at Helena College. As part of the Helena WINS initiative, 8th graders from throughout the area had the chance to learn more about the trades on Friday.

“So, we really wanted to target 8th graders, especially thinking about what they want to do for their careers, or even just choosing classes for high school. If hands-on is something that they’re interested in, these industries are great for that. They’re also growing rapidly in the Helena area, especially with the growth that we’ve been having in our community. And we really just want to highlight that there are some awesome employers and awesome opportunities right here in Helena,” says McKinley Winkle, Vice-President of the Helena Area Chamber of Commerce.
