Hard Hats, Hammers & Hot Dogs set for April 4
The Kootenai County Workforce Development Task Force will host the 5th annual Manufacturing and Construction Career Day - Hard Hats, Hammers & Hot Dogs. This event is scheduled for Wednesday, April 4 at the Kootenai County Fairgrounds.
The event is offered to the local area schools that will bring middle and high school students to participate. The emphasis is to expose the students to skilled trades through hands-on demonstrations and direct interaction with heavy equipment. The use of welding equipment, robotics, masonry materials, CNC equipment, and much more will allow the students to experience various careers before graduation.
Donations of $250 or more will give company name recognition on the event T-shirts and their logo will be placed on a flier inserted in each goodie bag. Participation as an exhibitor is also welcome.
