In the skilled trades industry, the value of training cannot be understated.
However, over the years, the art of apprenticeship and intentional skill-building has been lost. The trades have adopted a“sink or swim” attitude, and its left prospective employees wanting to enter into the trades feeling frustrated and unsupported.
