\u201cThis accolade is no small feat. Your organization exceeded expectations,\u00a0and\u00a0though the selection process was competitive, we were impressed by your commitment to helping close the trade skills gap,\u201d said Stanley\u00a0Black\u00a0&\u00a0Decker Director of Social Impact Karen Price-Ward.<\/p>\n

The Empower Makers Global Impact challenge launched in 2021 and awards up to\u00a0$25 million\u00a0in grant funding over five years to non-profits that are supporting trade workforce development initiatives with the goal of skilling and reskilling up to 3 million makers.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur vital trade skills programs are created for young people \u2013 the future of our construction workforce,\u201d said Construction Career Foundation Associate Director Mary Stuart. \u201cWe are reaching the next generation in their current classrooms. Our commitment to diversity and inclusion efforts guides us as we welcome to women, displaced workers, underrepresented, people of color,\u00a0and\u00a0LGBTQ+ community into Minnesota\u2019s construction trades.\u201d<\/p>\n

A Global Worker Shortage<\/strong><\/p>\n

With an estimated half a million open construction jobs in 2023<\/a> and 10 million unfilled manufacturing jobs globally<\/a>,\u00a0Stanley Black\u00a0& Decker has made vocational skills training a priority through its corporate social responsibility (CSR) mission. A major component of the company’s CSR strategy includes a goal to empower 10 million makers by the year 2030.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur programming is building the future construction workforce and closing the skills gap,\u201d said Construction Career Foundation Associate Director Mary Stuart. \u201cTo be among 91 organizations selected for our efforts to help close the trade skills gap is such an honor.\u201d<\/p>\n

Over five years, the Global Impact Challenge will continue to support the Construction Careers Foundation and organizations like it.<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you for supporting our mission at Construction Careers Foundation and joining us as we empower Minnesota youth and future tradespersons,\u201d Stuart said.<\/p>\n
