SHREWSBURY, Mass. \u2014 Nearly 200 students from career and technical education high schools and post-secondary programs in Massachusetts participated in the recent Trades & Tech Night career fair on Jan. 30 hosted by the Worcester Railers<\/a> in partnership with Advantage Truck Group<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs the heavy-duty trucking industry faces an ongoing need for skilled professionals, events like \u2018Trades and Tech Night\u2019 allow us to inform students about career opportunities and build our talent pipeline,\u201d said Kevin Holmes, president and CEO of Advantage Truck Group.<\/p>\n

Trades & Tech Night <\/strong><\/h5>\n

Held at the DCU Center before the Railers hockey game, the event gave students the chance to explore career options, engage in hands-on demonstrations and meet with over a dozen organizations offering internships, apprenticeships and full-time roles in fields from transportation manufacturing and building trades to waste management and utilities.<\/p>\n

For Mark Asamoah, a junior in the Diesel Technology program at South High Community School in Worcester, the event provided an opportunity to meet with the ATG team and make a connection.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll be starting an internship soon, so when ATG visited my school to tell us about their job opportunities and paid training programs, I knew I had to come to this event to ask questions and learn more,\u201d Asamoah said. \u201cIt seems like a great company and what I\u2019m looking for.\u201d<\/p>\n

ATG Training and Instruction<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Advantage Truck Group offers paid internships and apprenticeships featuring on-the-job training and classroom instruction, where participants earn professional credentials and wages that increase as skills grow. Career paths extend beyond diesel technicians to include service advising, warehouse management, parts sales and parts delivery drivers.<\/p>\n

The Trades & Tech Night event highlighted growing opportunities in the skilled trades, showcasing how advanced tools and technology are shaping career pathways in these essential industries.<\/p>\n
