EXPERIENCE THE TRADES!!! This week, Mr. Callies and Mr. Zuck attended the Waukesha County Business Alliance Experience the Trades Expo with a group of students from Perform and KMHS. Manufacturing and construction are driver industries in Waukesha County and the event created hands-on experiences that allow students to explore trades such as welding, cement work, carpentry, automation, engineering, and more. Students connected with local employers and learned about the various opportunities and career paths in the trades. The expo also brought students together from two of our high schools to share their creative and technical interests in an exciting day of learning as ONE KM!!
