Elemental Wright - Meet Pentimento Pentimento is based on a drawing made by Vernon D. Swaback, one of Wright’s apprentices. It is a systematic floral pattern that expresses the inherent geometry in nature. Different weaves and a special slub yarn are used in specific areas of the floral pattern to create tactility and depth, while still retaining the delicate, hand-drawn quality of the original work.

How has the glass industry provided for you? For your family? That is a question I return to often when talking to people about my job. And it’s an important thing to keep in mind when encouraging others to join our industry. It’s not just about the job itself; it’s about the life the job can afford you. For me, the glass industry has allowed me to live in Colorado, where I can raise my family and enjoy the outdoors. For Jacob, a second-year glazier apprentice in the Eastern Washington North Idaho Glaziers Apprenticeship Program, the industry already has afforded him the opportunity to pursue dirt bikes and street bikes. When recruiting young people to the industry, share how your job has improved your quality of life outside of the workplace. For Gen Z, especially, this can be very impactful. It just might be what entices them to become a glazier, an estimator, a salesperson. I always joke that “once you’re in the glass industry, you never leave.” Tell them why…  National Glass Association (NGA) CITCWA: Construction Industry Training Council of Washington Modern Glass Company #WorkforceDevelopment #Glass #GlassBeast

successfully completed task 3 on intrenpe InternPe

10 things I learned interning at A&C 1. I learned to respect other peoples thing and belongings and to treat them as your own and take good care of them. 2. Learned how to give and receive respect from other people. That helps in all aspects of life to treat one another as you want to be treated. 3. Learned how to get the flow of the job and keep that flow going. I learned how to work with a slope and make things square, level, and straight. 4. Learned how to weld overhead a lot better than I originally did. They taught me how to keep my puddle going and how it changes throughout the pipe. 5. Learned all the angles on different things. Different angles change the way your puddle flows and how well it welds. 6. Learned that prep is a very important thing. If you have your metal prepped and ready to go it will go so much smoother throughout your prodject. 7. Learned on caps and thinner metal needs different things. Temp is a really big part of welding and with time you begin to get the hang of what temp you need to run. Rod is another big part. Different rods do different things and can be ran at different angles. 8. Learned how to cut rails and joints of pipe way better from interning there. All the angles and how fast you cut will decide on how clean your cuts are going to be. 9. I learned how to hang and build gates at A&C. Gates require certain things, to be square and built solid and lightweight. The latches depend on who your doing them for they may want horseshoe latch’s or something different. 10. Rhett and Cody have taught me a lot about welding. They’ve taught me so much about all of that line of work. They are 2 really talented and smart people. Very grateful to be able to have that opportunity.

These programs are crucial for developing our future tradespeople. Work between industry leaders and strategic partners is critical for the industry’s sustainability and growth.

I just completed Kennedys's Commercial Law internship on Forage In the simulation I: * Completed a job simulation involving commercial law and litigated claims for Kennedy's legal team * Reviewed and analyzed communication documents, contracts, and force majeure clauses in various commercial claims * Provided clear and effective communication in addressing legal claims This simulation was very informative and realistic and helped me gain a deeper understanding of the types of tasks which I may carry out when working as a trainee solicitor in the future. Further, it enabled me to learn from any mistakes I made in a relaxed environment. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this simulation, it really helped to enhance my legal application skills when dealing with 'real life' claims.
