The future is hands-on, and the trades deserve the spotlight.
📊 A few highlights:
🔹 Only 16% of Gen Z’s parents believe a college degree guarantees long-term job security
🔹 77% of Gen Z want a career that’s tough to automate
🔹 72% of Gen Z parents have talked to their kids about how automation could impact their careers
🔹 But only 7% say they’d prefer their kid to go into the trades—old perceptions are still winning out
Let’s show Gen Z that the trades aren’t backup plans. They’re a path to security and success!
