The 2026 Heavy Metal Summer Experience is officially underway! We recently welcomed 12 students from across Iowa and Nebraska for Orientation Day, kicking off three weeks of hands-on learning and career exploration in the skilled trades.
Throughout the program, participants will visit local union halls, connect with industry professionals, and gain firsthand insight into what a career in the trades can look like.
