In 2023, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projected that the demand for HVAC technicians would grow by 6 percent — above the average growth rate for all occupations. If you have struggled to find a plumber, electrician or car mechanic to quickly fix a problem for you, you have first-hand knowledge about the nationwide shortage of skilled trade professionals. Libraries are frequently a source of information for individuals seeking jobs, exploring careers or changing professions. While we are doing solid work in supporting college-bound students and emerging entrepreneurs, an opportunity exists to do more to help individuals who are not pursuing college degrees — those who want to find meaningful work that pays more than a living wage. In this webinar, participants will: Gain an overview of the skilled trades ecosystem Hear from two skilled trade professionals about their entrepreneurial journey Learn how libraries can help address the critical shortage of skilled trade professionals Presenters: Gina Camacho, Co-Founder & COO of BlueRecruit Rich Camacho, Co-Founder & CEO of BlueRecruit Schannon Yodice, Co-Founder, Online Tile Academy Chris Ortega, Co-Founder, Online Tile Academy Moderator: Duncan Smith, MSLS, Chief Strategist for Public Libraries, EBSCO |
