This week, we're proud to join many industry organizations — including Sheet Metal and Air Conditioning Contractors' National Association (SMACNA), Sheet Metal Air Rail and Transportation Workers (SMART), Heavy Metal Summer Experience and others — in celebrating National Careers in Trades Week!
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, skilled trades are projected to experience faster-than-average job growth through 2034, with an estimated 600,000 construction openings each year. Why? Because our industry is innovative, collaborative, fast-paced, high-paying, and makes a real impact.
At SMACNA-WW, we’re committed to bringing the highest quality workmanship to our region — and that means investing in the next generation of trade professionals. Through programs like our Executive Education Institute and other industry-leading training, we equip foremen and contractors with the skills, knowledge and leadership tools to tackle the challenges of today and prepare for the opportunities of tomorrow.
The trades aren't just jobs. They're careers with purpose, growth and impact!
