On Saturday, October 24th, we had a great afternoon at Port St. Lucie High School, where 20 students explored hands-on activities in electrical, plumbing, HVAC, welding, and tiling!

A big thank you to our participating companies who took the time to share their skills and introduce students to the opportunities available in the skilled trades: Ehman Electric, Southpaw Plumbing, JCF Refrigeration, Manning Building Supplies, and Hassell Free Tile and Windows. We especially loved having Austin from Manning Building Supplies return to his own high school to help inspire the next generation!

We’re grateful to our TCBA members and community partners who continue to show up, share their knowledge, and help young people discover that the skilled trades are first-choice careers.

Together, we’re building a better future!

The next generation of tradespeople starts with us!

This Careers in Construction Month, we’re recognizing the importance of building a strong pipeline of skilled tradespeople. As our industry faces a shortage of workers, it’s more important than ever to introduce young adults to the opportunities available and give them the hands-on experiences and connections they need to get started.

At Blue Collar Big Dollar, our mission is to show young adults that the skilled trades are first-choice careers with opportunities for growth, success, and a future they can build with their own hands.

Want to help build the next generation of tradespeople? Get involved! Introduce a student to your trade, offer a hands-on learning opportunity, or connect with us to help young adults explore careers in construction. Every connection can open the door to a future in the trades.

The future of our industry depends on the next generation. Let’s invest in them, teach them, and inspire them to build what comes next!
