The IYRS School of Technology & Trades is hosting its 27th annual Summer Gala on Saturday, July 13 at 6 p.m. at the IYRS campus. This event is not just an occasion, but a celebration of craftsmanship, innovation, and community spirit that defines IYRS.
IYRS students receive training in boatbuilding, marine systems, digital modeling & fabrication, and composites technology during their time at the school. These skills lead to careers in the marine industry, entrepreneurship, or other industries such as motorsport, aerospace, and defense upon graduation. Recently, the school graduated over 70 students and launched several sailboats and boats during their annual graduation and launch day.
Financial assistance is available for nearly 80 percent of IYRS students who may be interested in learning more about scholarship opportunities on the school’s website. Tickets for the IYRS Summer Gala can also be purchased online. Donations are welcomed to support the mission of IYRS on their website.
The gala will feature musical performances by Trombone Shorty and Orleans Avenue, creating a night of music, camaraderie, and shared passion for craftsmanship. With strong industry partnerships, IYRS graduates have an average 85 percent graduation rate and an 85 percent graduate placement rate. This significant event is not to be missed!
