Trade shortages most in demand by A/E companies and general contractors include carpentry, millwork, and electrical, although high level of shortages cut across all trades. The average trade job doesn’t require much formal education, so even in cases of candidates without a high school diploma, a GED, which can be incorporated as part of the training program, is an adequate prerequisite to access trade certification programs.
Yet these jobs will enable new workers to enter the middle class. For example, the average electrician’s annual salary is $51,808 per year, while a journeyman plumber’s is $60,843.
Trade certificates may be obtained in months. Given that construction is a long-lead work cycle, and given that most trade services are applied towards the backend of the project, contractors have ample lead time to run their proposed workforce program.
Additionally,
IFP coordinates businesses with local trade schools and community institutions offering free education and material to technically certify an apprentice or journeyman in a skilled trade.
TSI Certification will place millions of desirable middle-class trade jobs into the communities that most need them. The results will be a win for the companies, since construction projects will be more profitable and there will be a larger pool of skilled workers and they will receive better public relations, a win for government, since it will spend fewer dollars to support the long-term unemployed while lowering the price of housing and infrastructure, and a win for the public, as IFP will help create more middle class jobholders and lower the rate of homelessness.
