***
As employers across the country face a growing need for skilled workers, careers in the trades are gaining renewed attention for their earning potential, long-term opportunities, and ability to provide a strong career path without necessarily requiring a traditional four-year degree.

General Motors CEO Mary Barra recently highlighted the opportunities available in skilled trades, including the potential for some experienced workers to earn six-figure incomes. GM is also investing $200 million in workforce development to help prepare the next generation of skilled workers.

For Charlotte Area Fund, this reinforces something we believe strongly:

There is more than one pathway to a successful career.

Training.
Industry-recognized credentials.
Hands-on experience.
Apprenticeships.
Career pathways.

The right skills can open doors to employment, higher wages, and greater financial stability...creating stronger families and stronger communities.

At Charlotte Area Fund, we're committed to connecting individuals in Mecklenburg County with the skills and opportunities they need to build brighter futures for themselves and their families.

Because when we invest in people, we invest in our entire community.

💡 Lasting economic mobility requires more than any one organization can provide.

It takes financial institutions, nonprofits, employers, government, philanthropy, and community partners working together to expand opportunity.

At Charlotte Area Fund, we see every day what becomes possible when communities invest in people.
