📣 Calling employers and training providers! We need YOUR help to uncover the skills gaps that further Skills Bootcamps funding could fill. We're holding 2 events to understand employer needs and gauge training provider interest in delivering in different areas.

These kinds of events are incredibly beneficial. Young people need to know their options, including which careers are available to them outside of a traditional four-year degree-to-workforce pipeline. That doesn't fit everyone's narrative. For many, the skilled trades are a viable, lucrative career path. #CareerPlanning #Career #SkilledTrades #Midwest #Plumbers #Pipefitters
