The show “Working Class” is designed to bring attention to the epidemic trades shortage, and the importance of the trades in our society. We were all told to go to college and get a good job, like somehow the trades became "less than" jobs. These trades people are highly trained, technical, and skilled professionals that should be celebrated. So now we find ourselves in a society of managers with no one to manage. When I say we need to "Make the Trades Cool Again", understand that they were always cool... We just got away from the pride that comes from building cool things with our hands. I invite you to join me on this journey.

Did we forget about the trades? For years, success has been tied to a college degree, but skilled trades offer solid careers and financial stability, too. It's time we change the narrative and show that success doesn't come from just one path.

Putting every student on a college tract is nothing more than the intentional failure to prepare students for the workforce during high school. It's by design, as a method of reoccurring revenue for the educational machine. Prior to the 1980s only a small percentage of people were put on a college tract (those pursuing professional endeavors such as doctor, lawyer, engineer, etc). We need to get back to that model, as well as increase apprenticeships across all industries (not just the skilled trades) and actually prepare people for a career that interests them. As a parent you need to introduce your child to various career paths at an early age. Those who show interest in the skilled trades should be given the opportunity to explore pre-apprenticeship programs, apprenticeships, trade schools and other workforce development approaches that don't require college. Most likely educators aren't going to present these options to your kids, so it's up to you to help them find a career they are passionate about and the pathway to it. Bring Back the Trades, Inc was formed to help in that effort. Bring Back the Trades, Inc is a non-profit skilled trades advocacy group that offers resources, mentoring, scholarships and career fairs.
