Recently a group of students participated in an experiential visit to the Trade Institute of Pittsburgh. Run by professional leaders in trade industries, counseling, business, and economic development, the Trade Institute of Pittsburgh offers a ‘hand up, not a hand out’ for individuals looking to create exceptional careers and life opportunities. Our students learned the fundamentals of various construction trades and discussed how acquiring these skills could enable them to create a self-sufficient, productive life. TIP offers an intensive ten-week, education program that our students can now consider as they plan their future academic and career opportunities.
