The Talking TradesmanWe don’t have a skills shortage. We have an attitude problem towards skilled trades. For generations, too many young people have been given the same message: Do well at school, go to university, get a “good job”. And if you don’t? Well… there’s always the trades. That mindset has to change. Construction should NEVER be presented as the place you end up because you weren’t clever enough for something else. These are skilled careers. Careers that can provide great money, independence, business ownership and opportunities that many university graduates would love to have. If we genuinely want more young people coming into construction, we can’t wait until they’re 18 and wonder why they’re not interested. It has to start in the classroom. Stop treating the trades as Plan B. Start presenting them as the career they actually are. Agree or disagree? #Construction #SkilledTrades #Apprenticeships #Careers #Education
