Join Hiring Our Heroes, Boeing, and Clover Park Technical College as we celebrate the graduation of the first cohort of the Skilled Trades Academy Manufacturing Pathway.   

This event brings together graduates, families, sponsors, employers, and community supporters to recognize the accomplishments of transitioning service members, veterans, military spouses, and working-age military dependent children who have completed hands-on technical training, earned industry-recognized certifications, and prepared for careers in the skilled trades. 

As workforce needs continue to grow across manufacturing, these graduates are prepared to bring their military-connected experiences, technical skills, and commitment to excellence into high-demand careers that strengthen businesses and communities. 

We invite you to join us in celebrating their achievements and recognizing the partnerships that helped make these career opportunities possible.
