Cadott High School hosted an open house in technology and engineering on Tuesday. The student members of Cadott SkillsUSA organized the event, which aims to raise awareness in the technology and engineering department.

“There are all kinds of opportunities in the skilled trades, manufacturing, construction and so on. Said David Goodman, instructor in technology and engineering. “It doesn’t matter who I talk to, be it someone in construction, manufacturing or whatever, one thing they are looking for is skilled workers.”
