Dan Fitter joins the Annie Frey Show (hosted by Ryan Wiggins and Brad Range) to discuss the urgent need for skilled trade workers in the U.S., especially in manufacturing. Fitter breaks down the innovative Youth Apprenticeship Accelerator Program in St. Charles, which is changing perceptions of vocational careers and creating new opportunities for high school students—some earning $21/hour. He explains how businesses are funding training programs, how federal law has shifted to allow youth apprenticeships, and why the future of manufacturing depends on recruiting young talent now.
