Next Generation of Skilled Trades Professionals
The High Schools to HardHats initiative bridges the gap between education and the skilled trades by connecting students to union-backed apprenticeship programs through their high school’s Career and Technical Education (CTE) pathways. Delivered via the High Schools to Helmets app, this program empowers students, parents, and educators with clear career guidance, hands-on experience, and access to well-paying, stable careers—like electricians, plumbers, ironworkers, and more. By fostering local talent and partnering with unions and community leaders, we ensure students gain valuable skills while building a stronger, more resilient workforce.
