These are the MOST IN-DEMAND Skilled TRADES for 2024! | The Trade Talks #141
David Johnson built fences as a young man before “officially” joining the skilled trades. Now, as VP of Sales for BoomNation — an online community for America’s forgotten blue-collar laborers and skilled tradesmen — David stresses the importance of bridging the gap between what the trades can offer and what the younger generations want in a career. His ultimate goal is to bring more young men and women into the trades, and he points to the successful careers of welders, plumbers, electricians, and HVAC technicians as examples. BoomNation also works with contractors to pair them with the right talent for any given job.
