Trades Day 2022
On March 26, over 60 OCS students made their way to Coastal Carolina Community College to compete in the annual Trades Day Event.
Trades Day was designed more than a decade ago to help local companies and contractors connect with talented and skilled youth. This event is a partnership between CCCC, OCS, the Jacksonville-Onslow Chamber of Commerce, and many other supporting businesses and organizations.
Through competing at Trades Day, high school students taking CTE courses can show off their skills and work ethic in their chosen fields of study. Competitions this year included automotive, construction teams, culinary arts, drafting, electrical, masonry, and welding.
Congratulations to all winners and thank you to all OCS students who participated. We are beyond proud of the work our CTE students do each day!
