TechForce Foundation and SkillsUSA have partnered together to maximize their outreach to young technicians, according to a press release.
SkillsUSA members will be made aware of resources offered by TechForce, such as its online career hub that provides information on how to further pursue interests they have in the trades. Information on year-round scholarships, events, apprenticeships, and jobs is also available through the platform.
In addition, TechForce will inform the students and instructors within its network of opportunities available through SkillsUSA, such as enhanced curriculums, first person experience with different trades, and connections within different industries.
“Both organizations are committed to the outcome of a skilled, passionate workforce, so ensuring our communications channels cross-pollinate ensures our students, and industry, win,” said TechForce Foundation CEO Jennifer Maher. “With TechForce having over $4 million in scholarships to award this year alone, and SkillsUSA being active in nearly 5,000 schools and over 21,000 classrooms nationwide, it’s a natural alliance that supercharges results for the next generation of skilled technicians.”
