Many businesses that rely on skilled workers report difficulty finding qualified individuals to fill open jobs. In fact, skilled trades have been the hardest segment of the workforce for employers to staff for the last three years, according to Manpower Group.

Skills for America's Future reports that "our economy, in fact our very way of life, depends on skilled countrymen working at every stage of business: designing, testing, producing, transporting, selling, and servicing. These include those working in American energy, creating the electricity and fuel to power our offices, stores, plants, vehicles; and in telecommunications, ensuring that we can transmit and access vital data across distances. They also include technicians who operate equipment in our production and distribution centers, mechanics who keep engines and plant equipment humming, transportation drivers and operators who bring products to market, and skilled construction workers and trade specialists who build and maintain roads and buildings in every community across America."

Use your skills and talents to obtain training in a skilled trade that will help to pave the way to a fulfilling career and bright financial future.
