Today marks National Tradesmen Day, a time to recognize and celebrate the skilled tradesmen who play a crucial role in maintaining and advancing our communities. These professionals, including electricians, plumbers, welders, bricklayers, carpenters, automotive technicians, HVAC technicians, sewing machine operators, house painters, landscape gardeners, and aircraft maintenance technicians, contribute significantly to various industries.

In light of this celebration, State Representative Wayne Rosenthal recently toured the Capital Area Career Center (CACC). During his visit, Rosenthal engaged with leaders to discuss the increasing demand for learning trades. He also joined students in demonstrations that included gearing up for a fire rescue situation.

"Rep. Rosenthal Tours CACC as They Continue to Grow," read a statement from the Workforce Institute at LLCC.
