The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Local 46, of Kent, recently donated $4,600 to the Kent School District’s Career and Technical Education program.

The donation will encourage students to explore post high school opportunities in the trades industry by funding fields trips and transportation to highlight the availability of apprenticeship programs.

IBEW hopes the donation, which is the first of its kind to the district, will establish a long-term partnership between the union and the district, said Jim Tosh, IBEW Local 46’s business manager and financial secretary.
