Heating Up the Workforce: Medford Wellington Service Company's Pathway to the Trades

from New England Weekend · host WBZ-AM

Demand for skilled workers in the trades continues to grow, but there simply aren't enough people who are trained to meet the call. A Billerica-based company was among the many feeling the strain of the ongoing worker shortage, so they decided to take matters into their own hands and start their own training program, which has become incredibly popular. CEO Mike Lacrosse and People and Culture Manager Keri Brewin are on the show this week to talk with Nichole about the program and all it has to offer aspiring members of the trades.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
