Had an absolute BLAST at Build My Future 2026! We pulled out all the stops to exhibit our trades this year. We didn't let the rain dampen our spirits!
This year, students were able to learn about:
-Commercial roofing application and maintenance with our roofing and service departments
-Boom lift operation and use with our architectural sheet metal department
-Crane operation and rigging with our crane operator and roofing department
-Metal plate wall panel installation with our architectural sheet metal department
-Using specialized equipment like telehandler forklifts and vacuum-hoists to move heavy wall panels with our architectural sheet metal department
-And more, plus co****le!
We always enjoy taking the time to show the youth our trades, share our experiences, and be a part of an effort to educate and invest in our futures. Education comes in many different form factors, and the trades are a vital part of the infrastructure of our society.
We appreciate everyone that stopped by, ran some equipment, tossed some co****le, and asked questions. It's great to visit with the students, parents, and educators involved. We heard numerous times: "Man, I wish they had this when I was in high school!"
Thank you to the leaders in our roofing, architectural sheet metal, and service departments for helping us showcase what we do and invest in the next generation of skilled tradespeople!
