In this episode of Lead to Succeed, host Steve Arwood is joined by Corey Soumis, Director of Career and Technical Education (CTE) at the Copper Country Intermediate School District, and CTE Supervisor Steve Aho. They share how a partnership between local contractors, Moyle Real Estate Development, InvestUP, and the Build U.P. fund turned a construction trades class into a real-world homebuilding program that is adding new housing units in Houghton, Hancock, and L’Anse while preparing the next generation of skilled trades professionals across the Copper Country.
