Public hours are returning to the seventh annual Mahoning Valley Skilled Trades Expo this year, giving anyone curious about a hands-on career the chance to pick up a tool, meet the pros and explore what's possible.
The community may attend from 2 to 4 p.m. Sept. 22 at the Michael Kusalaba Event Center, Building 36, Canfield Fairgrounds. Enter through Gate 9, off state Route 46.
No registration is required, and admission and parking are free.
More than a dozen building construction trades will be on display through hands-on exhibits and live demonstrations. Attendees can talk directly with professionals and learn how to start earning while they learn a trade. No experience is necessary.
The expo also welcomes those already working in the trades who are exploring the path to becoming union tradespeople.
This will be the seventh annual event, which typically draws thousands of students from the Mahoning Valley and western Pennsylvania every year. For more information, visit www.mvskilledtrades.com.
