It is so rewarding to have the opportunity to work with two organizations that strive for the same positive outcomes in bettering the skilled trades industry.”
In addition to Kelly joining the board, StrataTech Education Group will be providing program members with $2,000 scholarships to use towards tuition at any of its four campuses. Curriculum programs include welding, refrigeration, HVAC and electric.
