Join Minnetonka Schools Superintendent David Law as he connects with three guests from the MOMENTUM Design and Skilled Trades Program at Minnetonka High School. Guests include Brent Veninga, instructional leader for MOMENTUM; Lindsey Trett, Director of Talent Acquisition from Walser Automotive and MOMENTUM community partner; and a MOMENTUM Transportation Careers and Global Commerce student. Together, they discuss MOMENTUM and what makes this hands-on, interdisciplinary skilled trades program such a vibrant and exciting addition to Minnetonka High School’s breadth of student opportunities.

MOMENTUM is a program designed for students with a passion for real-world, hands-on learning to help them envision and prepare for careers in the skilled trades. Through four distinct strands in Construction Systems, Manufacturing, Design, and Transportation (which includes automotive and aviation courses), students explore trades through projects with community partners, industry site visits, and mini apprenticeships. They learn from professionals through guest speaker visits, making connections with local businesses. and growing their awareness of trade and technical school offerings.
