The U.S. is facing a skilled trades crisis
• Maintenance turnover often exceeds 90%.
• Properties lose millions annually due to unfilled positions and delays.
• Only 2% of the workforce are women, leaving an untapped pool of talent.
• Meanwhile, underserved youth, veterans, and women remain locked out of stable, well-paying careers.
The Trade Path Project provides the bridge.
