ANNISTON, AL – The second annual Youth Trades Day, hosted by Multiple Pathways 2 Success (MP2S) in collaboration with the West Anniston Foundation, will take place Thursday, June 5, at 5 p.m. at 229 S. Allen Avenue in Anniston.
The event offers a platform for local youth to showcase their aspirations, skills, and potential career paths in various trade and vocational fields. Organizers encourage students and young adults to present their future career plans, offering a chance to win prizes and receive recognition for their ambitions.

Now in its second year, Youth Trades Day seeks to empower young people by promoting hands-on skills, fostering workforce readiness, and connecting them with mentors and career resources. The event reflects a broader effort to prepare youth for diverse career paths outside of traditional academic routes and to raise awareness about the value of skilled trades in the community.
For community members, educators, and families, the event is an opportunity to support local youth, engage with emerging talent, and learn about the evolving landscape of career development in Calhoun County.
