You’re right - great news. Mike Rowe (Dirty Jobs) has scholarships available for students who are interested in the trades...he said this summer there were “millions” of dollars available for those interested...
Forgot to include the link:
You’re exactly correct. I’m a product trainer for a manufacturer of products used in the residential trades.
Occasionally I’ll be at trade shows when school groups come in. I always praise the kids for going into a trade.
One day I was at a lumberyard demonstrating some products. A guy told me that he runs a trade program at the high school. A tornado had damaged some homes and the city bought the properties. Each year, the program designs, builds and sells one home.
Totally brilliant.
He asked if he could bring the students over for me to train them.
An hour later a school bus pulls up. It was a memorable day.
