The 2026 Blue Collar Tour is an exciting way to get high school students interested in the Blue Collar Trades. With all of the distractions and short attention span in today's kid’s, we create an experience that has never been done by a trade school before.
We're heading to 30 schools in 60 days to inspire the next generation of Blue Collar Workers. We'll run live welding demonstrations, a Q&A, and we have a ton of awesome gear to give away. Submit your school with your teacher and we just might see you on the next Blue Collar Tour.
