Did you know there's a crisis in this country that's been brewing for over a decade? It's the shortage of skilled tradespeople, including plumbers, electricians, carpenters, and more. And in the next 10 years, it's going to boil over and put the entire country at risk.
In this video, we'll explore what this crisis is, how we got here, and how we can get ourselves out. We'll discuss the stigma against tradespeople and how it's affecting young people's decisions to enter the skilled trades. We'll also look at the boom-bust cycle of the construction industry and how it affects the availability of workers.
Working in the trades is hard, physically demanding work. But it's also noble and financially rewarding. In fact, some plumbers make as much or even more than some doctors and lawyers. So why aren't more young people entering the trades?
Join us as we dive deep into this important issue and discuss potential solutions. We'll talk about how we can change the way we view tradespeople and encourage young people to consider careers in the skilled trades. We'll also examine how we can create incentives for workers to stay in the trades during lean times.
Don't miss this eye-opening discussion about the crisis you haven't heard about: the skilled trades shortage.
