Filling up the Skill Stadium with Keith WilliamsEpisode 25 Part 2 When you think about the jobs our society glorifies, what first runs through your mind? Maybe a doctor, investment banker, or architect — all careers require years of expensive college tuition and, sometimes, a small pool of jobs available. Why, then, are we not promoting the in-demand skilled trades? After decades of saturating the job market with white-collar workers, it’s harder than ever to find a great paying job in the field you studied. People are struggling to find their “dream job” and the workforce of skilled trades is aging, so we should be pushing the younger generations and current job seekers to consider the profitable skilled trades industry. In this second installment of Inside the Trade’s special two-part series, hosts Derek and Matt are back speaking with Keith Williams, podcaster and creator of Skill Stadium. During this episode, they discuss why educating the youth and their parents on skilled trades and their benefits is so important to changing these limiting ideals. Tune in to learn all the benefits of working in the skilled trades industry, from debt-free education to the ability to move wherever you want, and MORE! Topics discussed in this episode: A short refresher on part one of this series Educating youth on skilled trades Are parents contributing to the skills gap?Pay in the skilled trades and financial literacyWays the skilled trades are failing to promote themselves Role the media plays in belittling skilled tradesMisconceptions about skilled tradesTechnology and the futurePros of working for/owning a small businessCons of working for a big companyWhy people love working in the skilled trades industryBrandon Eckenrode, director of Collision Repair Education Foundation Looking for a job or need to hire skilled tradespeople?
