In an era dominated by technology and automation, the timeless artistry of the trades holds a unique allure for entrepreneurs. The trades are also one of the highest paying careers that young people can pursue, and offer tremendous entrepreneurial opportunity. Join us for a dynamic session as we delve into "The Future of the Trades" and explore why working with your hands matters now more than ever -- and how to better tell that story to aspiring entrepreneurs.
Because while lucrative, studying for a trade -- carpentry, plumbing, electrical, or HVAC -- can be seen as “less than” a college education and a more white-collar job. However, the trades offer a rewarding and accessible pipeline to career success, and are often one of the entrepreneurial paths that are easiest to enter.
