Trading Skills

Ironworker

Akeylah heads to a union facility to meet with Jamie, an ironworker and passionate advocate for the skilled trades. Jamie shows Akeylah the ropes of being an ironworker as they cut some metal and practice their column climbing before heading up in a lift to work on a tall structure. Akeylah learns that ironworkers are responsible for the ‘bones’ of structures, an important step in construction.
