Two Evergreen businessmen have revived a building trades program for high school students that flourished more than a decade ago.
“We’re going to teach them a trade,” said builder David Graham, who is coordinating the program with Phil Shanley of Evergreen Fine Art. “At the very least, they’re going to learn to do something with their hands.”
The program will teach students a trade while also meeting a need for skilled labor, Shanley said.
