Communities around the world face a skilled trades gap, and we are working together with our partners to close it.


Our Grow the Trades program continues to serve tradespeople across the US and around the world with broad acclaim. We equip tradespeople with practical training, resources and access to high-quality tools, strengthening their skills and building loyalty to our brands, with a focus on high-demand, core industry needs, including carpentry, welding, plumbing and mechanical trades. By supporting trades professionals, we also build stronger partnerships with distributors, retailers and employers who rely on skilled labor, reinforcing our commitment to solving real-world challenges.

Sometimes numbers speak louder than words.

See our progress.
