Can a woman repair your car? Weld metal? Build a house?
Of course… but few do.
The Copper Country Intermediate School District took a step toward changing that yesterday, with its annual Nontraditional Day.
Girls from high schools around the area gathered at the Career and Technical Education Center for hands-on introductions to the fields of automotive repair, welding, construction, and engineering.

Lauritsen admitted, though, that she’s still inclined to pursue a career in veterinary medicine.
The growing CCISD Career and Technical Education program now has 325 students enrolled in a variety of classes, ranging from construction to culinary to computers to health careers.
