A milestone Wallek noted that the company is proud of she said is, “This is my 15th year as owner

A second enterprise has also been started through the business, noted Wallek - to train tradespeople to continue to provide critical services in the region.
“Trades UP, LLC trade school is a post-secondary school offering training eventually for all licensed trades in Vermont,” she said. “Currently we are offering certificate classes for NORA (National Oil Heat Research Alliance), EPA 608 Refrigerant Certification, Men’s and Women’s Plumbing workshops and soon to be offering an in-person alternative plumbing and electrical apprenticeship related instruction program.”
Wallek said, “My goal is to have St. Johnsbury
