PRESENTER: As of 2020, the construction industry had 350,000 open jobs. And experts predict that the industry will see 3.5 million openings in the next eight years. There are more employers looking to hire people than there are available people with construction-ready skills. We’re talking about a never-seen-before opportunity for young people to work for more than twice minimum wage in some states.
The Home Depot is proud to be leading the effort to build the next generation of construction professionals with its Path to Pro skills program. The program was designed in response to these customers who desperately need skilled workers.
At no cost, the program offers web-based, on-demand courses led by industry professionals that can be completed in very little time. It also includes knowledge checks just to ensure each participant gains a clear understanding of each section.
The program prepares you for getting the job, with resume and interview training, but also prepares you for keeping the job, with lessons in building great relationships with employers, coworkers, and clients.
The Home Depot’s goal is not just to teach the skills, but to get the participants hired. At the end of the training, participants will have exclusive access to an online job marketplace, where millions of the Home Depot Pro customers can search and hire you, all in the portal.
I encourage you to explore the opportunities and job demand in the skilled trades, and to consider if you, your child, your student, or your mentee might just be suited for a career in the construction trades. No matter what road the person may be coming from, the skilled trades offers a path to great income, retirement plans, health care, entrepreneurship, and, most importantly, happiness.
Please go to pathtopro.com, and learn more about the program and opportunities in the trades.[MUSIC PLAYING]
