Benefits of being a part of STEP-UP 

STEP-UP Increases students employability by providing them with training that will qualify them for industry certifications such as the American Welding Society, Automotive Service Excellence, Class A Driver’s License, and logging industry certification.

STEP-UP provides students with the added value of being exposed to leadership classes which increase their value to a potential employer. Finally STEP-UP rigorously enforces accountability while stressing the vital importance of being a drug free employee.
