How can vocational training in carpentry, particularly in specialized areas like Cam-Lock form building, bridge the gap between traditional education and the immediate needs of the construction industry? In a conversation captured at the Gates & Sons booth, Don Valdez, the National Retail Sales Manager at Gates & Sons, engages with Jeramiah Coyle, a Carpenter Instructor at Wayland Carpenter and Millwright Training Center, highlighting the practical benefits of hands-on training sessions.

That's where we see the value in training them on what they're going to go out and do, okay? And that's what they're using. So, it makes sense.
