Last week we had the honor of attending Builder's Day at DECKED where Mike Rowe was a featured guest speaker. The topic of the event was skilled trades- the need for more individuals to enter the skilled trades, dispelling the myths, the importance of these jobs (they build everything!), and the workforce gap we are experiencing and will continue to experience. Did you know? For every 5 tradesmen & women who retire, only two are hired?
The Mike Rowe Works Foundation has $10 Million in scholarship funds to help close the skills gap by supporting men & women who want to learn a trade. Learn more at: https://mikeroweworks.org/scholarship.
