Lakeside Cabinets and Woodworking Opens Doors to Careers in the Trades for Local Students
Nowthen, MN – September 16, 2025 — As demand for skilled labor continues to rise, Lakeside Cabinets and Woodworking is leading the way in promoting careers in the trades by connecting directly with students through immersive educational outreach.
Working closely with high schools, vocational tech programs, and advisory boards, Lakeside is committed to showing students that success doesn’t always require a four-year college degree. By hosting high school vocational tours, interactive Q&A sessions, and participating in trade days across the metro, the company provides students with a hands-on look at what a future in cabinetry and woodworking can offer.
“We believe in giving students real options,” said a spokesperson from Lakeside. “Not everyone learns the same way, and not everyone is destined for college. By showing them the possibilities in the trades, we help them make informed decisions about their futures.”
Currently, Lakeside is collaborating with the Anoka-Hennepin Cabinetry Advisory Board to expand its outreach and develop consistent messaging across school districts. The company is also working directly with Coon Rapids and Blaine High Schools to provide informational tours and Q&A opportunities for students interested in technical education and hands-on careers.
These efforts align with Lakeside’s larger mission: empowering students by exposing them to viable alternatives to college and equipping them with the information needed to pursue careers that match their skills, interests, and learning styles.
“Some of the most successful people never went to college,” the company notes. “We’re here to show students that success comes in many forms—and skilled trades are a path worth exploring.”
