What we ask of you
- An interactive booth — give students something to do: wire a circuit, sweat a joint, run a welding simulator, frame a wall.
- Bring your people — staff it with practitioners, ideally a recent apprentice.
- Show the path — be ready to explain how someone actually starts in your trade.
- Meet the basics — provide a certificate of insurance and follow the event safety plan.
Free to participate — we handle booth space, power, logistics, signage, and lead-capture support. All we ask for is the interactive booth. Any interested contractor can apply; booth spots are limited and curated.
