Who:
In partnership with the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC), the Iron Workers Local 40 and 361 Training Center will be hosting a hands-on event for SteelDay! Anyone who participates in this event will have the rare opportunity to step into an ironworker’s boots and live the life of an ironworker for a day. Ironworkers build our nation’s buildings and bridges. Participants will have the opportunity try their hands at welding, flame-cutting, rigging a beam, or climbing a column! Participants will also learn how to make the most of AISC and IMPACT resources on their next project.
