GBCC and Bring Back the Trades host event at College’s Rochester Campus
ROCHESTER — Bring Back the Trades and Great Bay Community College are partnering to host an exhibit event at the College’s campus in Rochester on Saturday, May 20 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The event, similar to one recently held at the Seacoast School of Technology, will include vendor exhibits and demonstrations from over 20 companies across the trades industry including Eastern Propane and Oil, River Birch Building, Dowling Corporation, and Granite State Manufacturing. Attendees of all ages will have the chance to learn about careers and job opportunities as well training programs for anyone interested in the skilled trades.
Bring Back the Trades of Rye N.H. was started in 2017 by Steve Turner who also operates Turner’s Upholstery, an automotive upholstery refurbishing business he has owned for the last 34 years. According to Turner, he has experienced first-hand the deficit in recruiting skilled craftspeople and feels that it takes a combination of both two year and four year graduate programs to shape the workforce of tomorrow.
Bring Back the Trades, a registered not for profit, also provides scholarships to students in occupations as diverse as under-water welding, automotive engineering, aeronautics, construction management and various manufacturing roles.
For more information on the Bring Back the Trades event at Great Bay Community College, and to participate as a vendor or volunteer, contact Stephanie Brown, Executive Director, – stephanie@bringbackthetrades.com.
