The metal thing holding the computer console fell (only 1 screw left w/c probably caused the fall). Luckily our HCC construction kids were in the library and fixed it! Woohoo! That’s real life application of what they learn in school! #ourschooliscool #milby #readyfortherealworld

This. We need skilled workers right now. I plan to do more high school outreach advocating for the benefits and potential of trade work, and aim to de-stigmatize it. Trades are looked down upon and I hope to change that. – at Chicago, IL
Yesterday, @theNKBA hosted a discussion on “New Ways to Build the Workforce.” With such high demand & earning potential in the skilled trades, panelist Brek Goin, Hammr co-founder & CEO, expressed the need to "treat construction as a career, not a gig."

We finished up our Gives Back event the other weekend with @BridgeYearFair. We are proud to say we assembled 700 career test kits for kids to test drive various career paths. It feels great to give back! bit.ly/Volunteering-Recap #AMAHouston #AMAGivesBack #BridgeYear

Because #ExperienceMatters Thank you @BridgeYearFair for being rockstar partners with quality youth engagement!
We still can't get over how happy students were with our #Career Immersion Camps. So many participants shared how impactful #CareerKits were in helping them figure out what they do - and don't - want to do after #highschool. Thank you @MyDiscoverU for making this possible!
