Facilitating Change-Madelyne Sorenson and Toni Bower from Explore The Trades

One of the difficult challenges of developing a modern technical training program is creating the connections with industry partners. There are times when we need to connect with equipment manufacturers, labor organizations, apprenticeships, local contractors and outreach organizations. Explore The Trades is focused on bringing the next generation of technical talent to the skilled trades of plumbing, heating, cooling and electric. The organization creates awareness of the trades through key industry statistics, career resources and connections with industry-leading residential service companies throughout North America. If you haven't added them to your arsenal of support networks, I highly recommend you doing so.
