2023 Skilled Trades Career Fair – Thank You for an Incredible Event!

Wednesday, March 22nd, 2023 | 9 am – 2 pm | ADPRO Sports Training Center at Highmark Stadium

Be Your Own Hero had over 1400 students from all over Western New York join us inside the ADPRO Sports Training Center at Highmark Stadium for our 4th Skilled Trades Career Fair and Industry Expo presented by Allwel WNY and APA Solutions! 

Thank you to the over 100 employers and sponsors of the event; we couldn’t have done it without you!

We pulled off our biggest event EVER and had 4x(!) the students we had last year with twice as many companies!

We can’t wait to hear about all the interviews and job offers that stem from this event and can’t wait to make it even bigger and better next year!
