This week we are taking a look back at our Statewide Contractor's Meeting and showcasing the incredible opportunities that presented itself to the WDI crew during that day. A lot of work goes into making it happen, and we love to see it pay off. From immediate job offers to those super vital "foot in the door" interactions, our students were able to showcase their talent and make us proud.

☀️ The snow has melted, the weather is warm, the shorts are out of storage and the swimsuit is calling. Our mood is as bright as the sun! 🌊

To celebrate all this Vitamin D we get to soak up, WDI is bringing back three of our favorite success stories this week to make sure we can bring our own sun to any cloudy days.

Today we start with our biggest video, where Ricky Sakshaug tells us about all that WDI offered for him. You might need some sunscreen for the positive rays off this one!
