Leverage hands-on skills into skilled trades

A 17-year-old senior with extensive hands-on experience in automotive repair, diesel trucks, AV installation, and welding has a clear path to high-demand skilled trades. These practical skills are invaluable. Opportunities include becoming an automotive technician, diesel mechanic, heavy equipment operator, AV installer/technician, or a welder/fabricator. They should seek apprenticeships or vocational training, and their resume/portfolio should highlight specific projects, tools used, and problem-solving abilities.
