Promoting The Skilled Trades Industry

Promoting Skilled Trades On Skilled Trades Day

The first Wednesday of May is always dedicated to showcasing and promoting the Skilled Trades industry. Skilled Trades are an industry that is often overlooked but with many job opportunities. This day is to raise awareness about the benefits of the skilled trade industry. With the stigma of everyone needing to go to school, it is hard for young adults to see how far their career could actually go with a skilled trades career. According to Forbes, over 53% of workers employed in a skilled trade are nearing retirement age. Compare that to the fact that only 1 in 5 students graduating from high school have shown an interest in trade jobs, and you can see why employers are having trouble finding workers. With such a lack of interest, the skilled trade industry will be struggling down the road.
