WHY NOW

This goes beyond economics—it strikes at national security

  • More than 180,000 trade jobs sit unfilled in Republican-led and red-leaning states alone.

  • Just as demand for skilled labor surges to deliver major AI hyperscaler projects.

  • The result: delayed timelines, slowed completions, and stalled new builds.

By launching the awareness campaign and building next-gen training centers, together we can close the trades gap, accelerate AI infrastructure, and secure America’s future.
