For more than a decade, the Waukesha County Business Alliance has been committed to building our future workforce by connecting students with the many career opportunities available right here in our region. With manufacturing and construction serving as key driver industries in Waukesha County, the Alliance was proud to spark students’ interest in these fields through our annual Experience the Trades Expo.
Hosted at the Waukesha County Expo Center, this year’s event welcomed 1,500 middle and high school students from across Waukesha County and beyond. Students had the chance to connect with 40 local manufacturing and construction employers and “try on” the trades through a variety of interactive, hands-on activities.
The 2025 Experience the Trades Expo was a powerful example of what’s possible when businesses and educators come together to inspire the next generation. A heartfelt thank-you to all the schools, employers, and sponsors who made this record-breaking event a success!
