Why This Matters
This workshop reflects Julia’s Gift Foundation’s mission to provide access, exposure, and opportunity to young adults pursuing meaningful careers.
Through hands-on learning and mentorship, PTA equips participants with the confidence and skills needed to take the first step.
“ I didn’t know what trade I wanted to pursue before this, but after trying welding, I’m seriously considering it.”
