The Technology and Trades department hosted participants from KEYS Job Centre's Pre-Apprenticeship Program during two “Try a Trade” bootcamp sessions on June 9th and 12th.  This initiative offered KEYS pre-apprentices the chance to explore skilled trades through immersive, hands-on experiences in both the electrical and welding disciplines. Sessions were supported by our technical staff and faculty, utilizing our lab facilities to ensure a realistic and engaging introduction to the trades.
