How can vocational training in carpentry, particularly in specialized areas like Cam-Lock form building, bridge the gap between traditional education and the immediate needs of the construction industry? In a conversation captured at the Gates & Sons booth, Don Valdez, the National Retail Sales Manager at Gates & Sons, engages with Jeramiah Coyle, a Carpenter Instructor at Wayland Carpenter and Millwright Training Center, highlighting the practical benefits of hands-on training sessions.

That's where we see the value in training them on what they're going to go out and do, okay? And that's what they're using. So, it makes sense.

Thank you for stopping by the booth today. Appreciate it. So, you're the trainer. Yeah. I'm an instructor out of Michigan Pampers, vocal one hundred. Yes. We represent the brotherhood of carpenters. Yes. And we train, anywhere from eighteen year old, years old, about up. Yes. Yeah. So recently we came up to your location, and we did a checked up there. So we did a PowerPoint, and then we went out and we actually, built a Camelot form model. Yeah. Was that received? If you look at awesome. Awesome. It's a great project. Our contractors are using gates yet. And then that's where we see the value in training them on what they're gonna go out and do. Okay. And that's what they're using. So it it makes sense. You've been great to work with as for donating the material and training. I found it's been awesome. Well, that's great. I really appreciate that. What tells us what you told them program there. Alright. So our apprentices come in. They get paid to go to school as long as they're working. Right? So there's four year apprenticeship. They're gonna take a total of sixteen different courses. Anywhere from metal frame and and drywall, scaff wing, concrete, formwork, we have stairs, roof framing, I mean, the whole genre. So they get to, lots of different levels of training. Mhmm. And they can choose if they wanna do concrete for more, they can choose that. They wanna do metal framing and drywall. They can go that path. So it gives them many different option. For Warren, I want to thank you and your organization. For having this opportunity to present to younger people and giving them another source of being a career development. Absolutely. Yeah. Okay. And I just want you say, how loud here, Don Valdez is great.
