Mr. Yancy Burkes, Cairo High School Construction Class teacher, recently took CTAE students to the Construction Ready CareerExpo — an incredible hands-on experience focused on skilled trades and career opportunities.

Students had the opportunity to explore interactive exhibits, connect with industry professionals, and get a real-world look at careers not only in construction, electrical, and plumbing, but also in culinary and nursing fields. It was a great experience that showcased a wide variety of career paths available to them after high school.

One of the biggest takeaways for many students was learning about the apprenticeship programs offered by companies in attendance. These programs provide a direct pathway into the workforce while gaining valuable hands-on experience. A standout opportunity highlighted was with Ring Power (Cat), located just across the state line in Midway, which offers an excellent apprenticeship program for students interested in pursuing careers in the industry.

Opportunities like this truly bring learning beyond the classroom and allow students to explore their interests and start building their futures.

We are proud of these students for stepping out, exploring, and taking advantage of these experiences!

If any graduating student would like the opportunity to look into the RingPower (Cat) Technician Apprenticeship Program, more information can be found here: https://www.ringpower.com/careers/apprenticeship-program/

🛠️ Learning Beyond the Classroom! 🛠️

Mr. Burkes recently took 9 of his Construction Class students to SkillsUSA Georgia’s State Leadership and Skills Conference in Atlanta!

Although they did not compete, students had an incredible hands-on learning experience. They observed live competitions, connected with industry professionals, and explored vendor exhibits. Students even had the opportunity to go up in a scissor lift, visit the Be Pro Be Proud GA mobile workshop experience, and engage in interactive virtual learning that highlighted careers in the skilled trades.

Experiences like this expand their knowledge, build excitement for the construction industry, and inspire them to continue developing their skills. We are proud of these students for taking the initiative to learn and grow beyond the classroom! 👏
