March 13, 2025STAR Event Update
Posted October 4, 2024
We have been receiving a few calls regarding the new updates to the STAR program. The rumors that are going around that there will no longer be a STAR program is false. The major change is that there will not be a picnic in 2025 but you will still be rewarded if you qualify. Next year’s event will be a drive-thru event like we had in the past during the Covid restricted years. Everyone who qualifies and attends the drive-thru event will receive a prize. There are some other changes and you can see them on the flier below.
One thing we need to remember is that the most valuable prize we receive from STAR’s is the certifications and knowledge that make us better trade workers in the industries we are in. They make you more valuable as an installer to your employers because not only are you more knowledgeable about our trade, but you are also more aware and safer on jobsites. Make sure you check out STAR’s website often because classes fill up quickly!
