🦺 Hands-On Learning at CATA!

Today, our CATA Utility Line Worker students put their skills to work learning how to safely build scaffolding! Students practiced proper assembly, leveling, stability, safety procedures, communication, and problem-solving while working together to complete the task.

Building scaffolding takes more than technical skill—it takes teamwork, trust, and attention to detail. These students are gaining valuable hands-on experience and developing the skills needed for success in the workforce! 💪⚡

Our students had the opportunity to:
• Learn more about FCCLA and everything it has to offer
• Build leadership skills
• Participate in fun, interactive activities
• Meet other FCCLA members and leaders
• Learn ways to become more involved in our chapter
• Grow in confidence, teamwork, and responsibility
