Working with one’s hands is the most innate of skills, yet as homeschool parents, sparking interest in the trades can seem daunting. What are the options? How do I know if my student will excel in a certain trade? What’s the required education for a trade, and how do I plan that? How can I guide my student when they seem uninterested in anything? My student hates _____ subject, will they be a good fit for college or a trade? I’m a tradesman, how can I expose students to my work in an engaging way? Let’s discuss these answers and more of your questions, and be sure to come by the Trades Fair!
