Lone Star College has been the beneficiary of funding from the All Within My Hands Foundation, founded by the heavy-metal band Metallica, several times. This year, the funding has the specific goal of getting more women into trade school. “As a touring entity we are in direct involvement with multiple essential career choices along our path,” said James Hetfield, Metallica’s vocalist/guitarist and co-founder in a release from Lone Star College. “From electrical, professional driving, culinary, mechanical maintenance, public safety, logistical organizers. Those, along with a multitude of other technical careers, make our touring and our performances possible. We are passionate and grateful to these trades and tradespeople.”
