Walker Career Center’s Visit to CraneWerks

During their visit to CraneWerks, the Walker Career Center students had the chance to see our shop in action—troubleshooting hoists, designing custom solutions, and fabricating overhead lifting systems that power industries across America. They engaged with our team, asked insightful questions, and saw firsthand how technical skills in welding, machining, and engineering are applied in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.

At CraneWerks, we believe in investing in the future workforce. That’s why we proudly offer the Roger Graham Scholarship, awarded each spring to high school seniors pursuing further education in trade school programs. Programs like those at Walker Career Center create a pipeline of skilled workers who are ready to step into rewarding, hands-on careers in industries that need them the most.

We encourage students from technical programs like Walker Career Center to apply for the Roger Graham Scholarship and take advantage of the many opportunities available in the skilled trades. As industries continue to evolve, the demand for technically trained professionals will only grow—and we’re proud to support the next generation of tradespeople who will keep America running.
