On this episode, we spotlight Go Build Tennessee and the growing demand for skilled trades professionals across the state. We begin with Nick Lawrence, President of the Go Build Board of Directors and President of The Christman Company, who discusses Tennessee’s most in-demand skilled trades occupations and why the industry is critical to the state’s economic future. Next, we talk with Brent Davidson, a Go Build member, Project Manager at ABEC Electric Company, and Instructor at the Construction Trades Academy, about preparing the next generation of skilled workers and the hands-on training opportunities available to students. Finally, we hear from Jackson Art, a current electrician student at the Construction Trades Academy, who shares why he chose to pursue a career in the trades instead of the traditional college route—and how that decision is shaping his future.
