What Is The Blue Collar Tour?

The 2024 Blue Collar Tour is an exciting way to get high school students interested in the Blue Collar Trades. With all of the distractions and short attention span in today's kid’s, we create an experience that has never been done by a trade school before.

We're heading to 30 schools in 60 days to inspire the next generation of Blue Collar Workers. We'll run live welding demonstrations, a Q&A, and we have a ton of awesome gear to give away. Submit your school with your teacher and we just might see you on the next Blue Collar Tour.
Student RequestsTeacher Requests
We have armed ourselves with a tour bus, welding rig, and a trailer full of giveaways. Each event lasts 4-6 hours and includes, hands on welding demonstrations, SWAG and tool giveaways, and highlights of the benefits of Blue Collar Trades in America.

This event gives students a taste of the skill and pride that go into blue collar work. They’ll see how these careers build our towns and support our great country. The Blue Collar Tour is here to show that choosing a trade is choosing a path to a strong, successful future.

Together, we're going to keep working to build a stronger America!
