ST. JOSEPH — Congressman Sam Graves stopped by the Hillyard Technical Center, 3434 Faraon Street, in St. Joseph this week.

On his social media page, Graves wrote, “The strong economy has created a shortage of skilled workers.The Hillyard Technical Center does an excellent job of equipping students with the right tools to succeed in a variety of in-demand industries so we can fill those positions. Programs like these are the key to addressing our workforce shortage issues and it was great to see firsthand how they are accomplishing this in St. Joe.”
