Contractors Are Ignoring this $152,000 Workforce Fix
Send us a text
Contractors say they can’t afford to hire apprentices.
What if the money was already there, and you just didn’t know about it?
In this episode of the Trade Traction Podcast, Dennis sits down with John Zink, who runs the PHCC Educational Foundation Scholarship Program, a program that awarded $152,000 to 66 apprentices and trade students this year alone.
This isn’t theory.
This is real industry money designed to:
Reduce the risk of hiring apprentices
Cover training costs
Help contractors build a workforce without bleeding profit
You’ll learn how the scholarships work, who qualifies, why the May 1st deadline matters, and how this program helps contractors hire and train without carrying the full financial burden themselves.
If you’re serious about building a workforce, and tired of doing it alone, this episode is required listening.
