For seven years now, Waupaca High School has been building a pathway for students wishing to pursue a career in the construction industry with a hands-on technical education class as part of a program called the Waupaca Comet Project, which gives students the experience needed to frame a home, with the help of Blenker Companies.
Last fall semester, high school students of the Tomorrow River School District built and completed an 160 square foot tiny house as a part of the newly created Advanced Construction class, with the help of Blenker Construction, a professional builder that services the central Wisconsin area.
Since 2015, Blenker Companies’ partnership with the Waupaca High School Comet Program has helped students get a leg up in the construction industry.
