By 2030, up to 2.1 million skilled trades jobs could go unfilled in the U.S. We can't solve that challenge alone.
That's why we're proud to join the Lowe's Foundation as a founding member of the Building Futures Skilled Trades Coalition — the nation’s largest trades coalition mobilizing leading educators, businesses, industry vendors, and workforce organizations to expand opportunities through the skilled trades. Together, this national alliance will strengthen every stage of the talent pipeline, from recruitment to career advancement.
The goal is ambitious: help train and develop over one million people for skilled trades careers by 2035. Read more about the coalition 👉 https://www.ccri.edu/news/ccri-joins-lowes-foundation-building-futures-skilled-trades-coalition.html
