A new event called "A Day in the Trades" is set to introduce high school students in St. Clair, Monroe, and Randolph counties to careers in skilled trades. The event, themed “From Blueprint to Built,” will provide students with hands-on experiences at local suppliers, manufacturers, and job sites. Local experts will guide students through activities designed to help them explore career paths in the trades sector.

Organizers emphasize that this program is free for all participating students. The initiative seeks additional investors and volunteers to support its mission. More information about registration, investment opportunities, or volunteering can be found at ADayintheTrades.com. For further inquiries or feedback, individuals can contact the planning committee by email or phone.

Kevin Schmidt was elected as a Republican representative for Illinois’s 114th House District in 2023, taking over from LaToya Greenwood.
