Exposing youth to construction trades - By KORKY KOROLUK, Daily Commercial News, Canada
Is she thinking of one day becoming a carpenter?
“Well, yeah. I think it might be interesting work. Or maybe electrical work.
“I don’t want to stay in school forever. I think you can earn money when you’re an apprentice. I know you still have to do school work, but I don’t mind school work too much if I can get away sometimes.”
All over an exhibition pavilion, similar scenes were being enacted. Students were taking turns on a scaffold, decked out in safety harness and learning how to tie off correctly.
Elsewhere, would-be ironworkers (also properly tied off) were walking carefully along a beam installed just a few inches above the floor.------------------------------------------- posted 1:23 PM :: reference link ::
