Strengthen Trades Education in Your Community
Trades education programs in schools are shaping the next generation of skilled professionals. Your business can amplify these efforts by partnering with local schools—offering mentorship, resources, or support for hands-on learning spaces that prepare students for careers in plumbing, HVAC, and electrical trades.
In a recent panel discussion featuring Mayfair School (Philadelphia) CTE educator Evin Jarrett (@mrjarrett_constructiontech) and Jamiah Washington, a former Mayfair student, talk about the importance of introducing the trades to students at an early age. Moderated by Executive Director Kate Cinnamo and Trustee Lauren Martin of Seaside Plumbing Inc., this conversation highlights how CTE changes lives and strengthens communities.
And on a side note, Mayfair School is a Skills Lab recipient and as Evin would tell you, this equipment grant program is a great way to strengthen your local school’s CTE program and build a recruiting pipeline for your company!
