The skilled trades shortage isn’t a future issue—it’s happening right now.

What’s driving it?

✌️An aging workforce is retiring
👉Demand for skilled workers keeps rising
🛠️Too few young workers are entering the trades

So the real question is: what are we going to do about it?

We fix it by building the pipeline—intentionally and together. That means investing in workforce development, expanding apprenticeships, strengthening CTE programs, and actively connecting students and young professionals to real careers in the trades.

We can’t afford to wait for the next generation to “find” the industry. We have to show them the opportunity, the stability, and the value of skilled trades careers.

This isn’t one group’s responsibility—it takes employers, educators, parents, and industry leaders working together. WHO is ready to jump in and help?????? Contact Keri @ (814) 231-8813 to get involved!

If we act now, we don’t just close the gap—we rebuild the workforce.
