Let’s Grow the Trades

With an estimated 500K trade jobs currently unfilled in the United States, the trade skills gap is an urgent challenge. We are providing $30 million in grants over five years to nonprofits to support vocational training and skilled trades programs in the construction industry. Together we can close the trade skills gap and help grow the trades.
