Cooper Skilled Trades(Homebuilders) students focused on completing the painting of one of the workshop areas at Enzweiler Building Institute. This project required strong communication, planning, and cooperation, and the students rose to the challenge. They worked efficiently as a team, supported one another throughout the process, and demonstrated pride in their work. Their collaboration and attention to detail were evident, and the completed space reflects the high level of effort they put into the project.

Students were able to speak with all panelists and ask questions that relate to their own interests. Go Jags! |
