Trade UP Program Expands to Three School Districts

The Snohomish County Labor Council's Trade UP program is growing! It now has events in three Snohomish County school districts: Marysville, Everett and Edmonds.

Students between the ages of 16 and 18 come to Trade UP events to learn trades that don't involve college. At this age, they don't really know what they want to do, so it's an opportunity to interest them in a trade and give them options. Many kids feel they're forced to get a college education to succeed in life, but it's important to let them know there are other options.

Stanwood Mayor Leonard Kelley came up with the idea for Trade UP and worked with Workforce Snohomish, the Snohomish County Labor Council and local businesses to put it together.

“College isn't for everyone,” he said. “We need to find a way to reach these kids.”
