👷🏽‍♂️🚧 ATTENTION BROTHERS IN THE TRADES! 🚧👷🏽‍♂️

This is Kevin Griffin Sr., President of the Steven E. Shepherd Community Foundation. Our community partners in the construction industry are hosting a Career Opportunities Round Table on November 20th at 6PM, and I want to personally encourage you to be there.

This isn’t just a roundtable —
it’s a real opportunity to get into the trades because the right people, the decision-makers, and the union influencers will all be in the room.

Now let me talk to my fellas directly:

If you’re ready to level up, step into a stronger career, and get connected with the folks who can actually put you on… this is the place to be.

✔️ Real game
✔️ Real access
✔️ Real pathways into the trades
✔️ Real opportunities for men who show up ready

⏰ Meet-up @ 6:00 PM

Come sharp. Come focused.
Your next chapter might start in that room.
