Gordee finished in first place in carpentry during Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) Apprenticeship Skill Competition in West Bend, WI earlier this year.
The competition objectives are to demonstrate safety along with craft interdependency and teamwork, simulate working conditions where planning is critical to success, and highlight individual leadership and workmanship skills as the project is assembled and completed.
This year’s event where Ali placed first in the safety category was held in San Antonio. She is only the second female from Wisconsin to compete at the national competition.
