Channellock Honors Wisconsin School as Sixth Annual Trade-Up Winner
Channellock, Inc. announced this year’s Trade School Trade-Up Competition winner, the industrial education program at Central Wisconsin Christian School.
The Channellock Trade School Trade-Up competition aims to close the nation's skills gap by funding initiatives and supplying tools that benefit the next generation of tradesmen and women.
“We are proud to support the future of America's skilled workforce,” said Jon DeArment, president, and COO of Channellock, Inc. “Our goal is that this program helps inspire trade school students to become strong contributors to their communities and take pride in their craft.”
Each year, the competition awards a trade program that exemplifies hard work, innovation, and a commitment to getting the job done right with a $5,000 cash prize, a full set of Channellock tools, and a complete classroom makeover.
To win, students specializing in plumbing, HVAC, welding, automotive, and electrical must produce an impactful video demonstrating their school’s technical abilities.
Russ Smies, head instructor at Central Wisconsin Christian School, is committed to equipping his students with valuable life skills needed for success in the trades, including a strong work ethic, critical thinking, and effective communication.
“We are so appreciative of Channellock’s investment in our program and are confident that these resources will help our students further develop their talents and technical abilities,” Smies said.
