“I decided to join the WOODWORK CAREER ALLIANCE OF NORTH AMERICA because of the national certification that students can obtain as well as the standardized nationally recognized assessments in the program. I'm hoping my local business partners recognize and value my certified students in the hiring process. And I'm also hoping that it brings more local and state recognition to my program, in regards to level of quality and what is to be expected of my students.” - Jason Glodowski, CTE instructor at Hononegeh Community High School in Rockton, Illinois

Great to see schools investing in their students' futures by preparing them with the certification they need to enter their careers 🪚

Hononegeh High School was just one of many schools to join the program, fantastic to see so many schools joining such a positive initiative!
