114. Could a skilled trade career be a better path for more students? w/ President of Hughes Environmental Engineering Brian Hughes
According to data from Stanley Black & Decker, almost 80% of young people and their parents worry about how they'll pay for college or whether it's the right path for them. A career in the skilled trades could be the answer.
The research also found that many young people hold misconceptions about trade careers, yet most skilled tradespeople said their jobs are in high demand.
Can we close the skills gap by exposing more students to trades? Are there significant financial incentives to pursue a career in a skilled trade? What about accessibility and gender equality in the field?
In this episode, Brian Hughes joins Kevin to discuss how to expose more students to opportunities and benefits of working in the skilled trades industry.
