Heavy Metal Summer Experience
MCA-SMACNA of New Mexico is delighted to partner with Heavy Metal Summer Experience to introduce high school students and recent graduates (ages 15-19) to careers in building trades through hands-on projects, working alongside craft professionals, and discovering local apprenticeship training opportunities.
Heavy Metal Summer Experience seeks to introduce young people to living-wage careers in the building trades. By normalizing skills-based apprenticeships as a post-secondary education option, Heavy Metal Summer Experience hopes to create workforce diversity and entice the next generation of craft workers.
Heavy Metal Summer Experience is a 501c(3) incorporated company and is made possible by a dedicated group of working craft professionals, vendors who donate tools and PPE, and contractors across the country eager to open their shops and facilities to host a camp and introduce students to the building trades.
