SCHOLAR SPOTLIGHTS

Claire and Emma U.

Claire and Emma U. are sisters, triplets, who grew up aspiring to be like their dad who works in the automotive industry as both a mechanic and an educator at the local community college. "It wasn't a matter of if I was going into the trades, it was a matter of which trade I would go into," said Emma. The sisters are attending Southeast Community College: Milford Campus in Nebraska where Claire will study automotive technology and Emma will study Auto Collision Repair Technology.

After finishing their education, they plan to open their own auto shop together in their hometown Milford. "We wanted to open a business together forever," said Claire. "We've always wanted to be entrepreneurs."

David G.

David G. of Florida will be attending Indian River State College studying welding. He was inspired to join the trades after a teacher encouraged him in high school and aspires to become a supervisor in the welding field. "It's a career I will enjoy doing throughout my life," said David. 

Meleana A.

Meleana A. of Hawaii will be attending the University of Hawaii: Hawaii Community College studying automotive technology. "I want to advocate for more opportunities on my island for women to see trades as an option and an opportunity you can find success in," said Meleana.

Show Your Trade Pride
