CISD hosted its inaugural CISD Trade Days on Tuesday, February 4th, at the Conference Center at Happy State Bank Stadium. The event brought together more than 50 local businesses and organizations, offering juniors and seniors the opportunity to explore career paths in trades, certifications, and workforce readiness.

Trade Days was designed to connect students with professionals in fields that provide hands-on training and real-world job opportunities—many of which can be pursued immediately after high school or with additional training. Students had the chance to ask questions, explore career options, and make valuable connections that could shape their futures.

“This event was all about empowering our students with knowledge and opportunities,” said Tiffany Hooker, CISD Coordinator for Career & Technical Education. “By bringing industry leaders into the conversation, we’re helping students take the next steps toward lifelong success.”

With a strong turnout and enthusiastic participation from both students and businesses, CISD Trade Days set a solid foundation for future career exploration events. By empowering lifelong success, Canyon ISD continues to create opportunities that prepare students for the workforce and beyond.
