Students in 9th and 10th grade were given the opportunity to attend Trailblazer Days at the ASUMH Tech Center with Ms. Stone. They were able to talk with professors in CDL Truck driving, machining, mechatronics, boating, automotive, and welding. Students got some hands on experiences and learned what types of jobs they could get after receiving any of these Technical Certificates.
