By Staff Report-
Due to the popularity and growth of the program, there are two rotating cohorts. While one group works on the new house build with Eric Taylor located at 452 E. Riviera Drive, the other group offers its time and talents around the school and community to take on necessary outdoor construction projects. Students learn skills such as how to read a blueprint, use tools safely and measure accurately, according to a news release from Warsaw Community Schools.
On Dec. 10, students and their instructors met with Kuert Concrete to form, pour and finish a ramp at Lakeview Middle School. Students on this project include Tyler Kuhn, Aaron Mclaughlin, Jaeziah Winegardner, Ayden Sherman, Blake Taylor, Ricardo Verduzco and Aiden Woods.
Julia Kincaid said, “Students are learning that concrete is one of the things you can’t mess up. You only have one chance to get it right. They learned about the right chemical levels based on the weather and dry time. It’s all about offering them great experiences and opportunities to build their resume.”
Nick Wallenga supervised the pour and said, “We are grateful to Kuert Concrete for their support on this project.”
Warsaw Area Career Center continues to develop students who are interested in the trades and offer them hands-on learning opportunities to explore a career pathway, according to the news release.
