We are at it again! The recent worksite workshop focused on supporting the installation and preparation of building trusses as part of the hands-on carpentry training experience. Participants were introduced to the purpose of roof trusses and how they help support the structure.
ACM stands in the gap, we institute preventative measures to help our youth not make tragic mistakes.
Invest in our mission- 👏👏https://t.co/qaxs4Gsl0h
