Why should counselors present working in the trades as a good career option?
Not every student in your school is intended—or able—to work in the construction industry. By the same token, not every student in your school is tailored to attend a four-year college and then go on to a professional school. Everyone of us have different interests that make us “tick.”
The goal of Trade Up for educators is to help you consider that some young adults are probably exceptionally fit to enter the construction trades, and by providing you with information about the trades and how one becomes a craftsman, you can be prepared to discuss them as a career option with suitable students.
