The Importance of Trades Education

I'm a associate professor of carpentry at White Community College. I teach a two year vocational program where we teach the students hub, everything they need to know for a residential, carpentry, farm work, as well as, touch on the base of commercial farming. We teach them how to build their own cabinet, old school building of doors. Up until this point, they've actually build wooden windows with jealousies. You know, kinda getting outdated and a lot of really good carpentry skills. But, yeah, our program is fruitful or where that full capacity, and it's nice to see that there's still a demand coming out for this generation, coming out of high school they still wanna learn how to, build things, acquire skills and work with their hands. So, yeah, I love it. I love joining in fire this next generation. I also love having the guys in my class that are older than me too. Some of the retired men also guys. Yeah. It's it's a blast. We're building show a home every year with the students on, Hawaiianville lands. So we put our Hawaiian family into a new bus stop. Hopefully, all the contracts will be a place that we're gonna go at it. Hawaii coming into college and you just look under the carpentry program. We do have, foundation, cow that people could make, that's enough for them all, donation, This is awesome. So nice to meet everyone over here. It's my first time to order a concrete. My predecessor, then I took over and used to come every year, and that's actually how I started teaching this program.
