Our vision at Closing the Gap is to help address the skilled trades gap and ensure that the next generation of tradesmen and tradeswomen has the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in their careers.

We believe that skilled trades programs in schools are an important way to prepare students for careers in the construction industry and other related fields, and we are committed to supporting these programs and helping to make them more accessible to students.

To achieve this vision, we have established an educational fund that will provide financial support and resources to skilled trades programs in schools. We are working with a range of partners, including schools, vocational training programs, industry organizations, and local and state governments, to identify projects and initiatives that align with our mission and goals.

We believe that by supporting skilled trades programs in schools, we can help to close the skilled trades gap and ensure that there is a sufficient supply of skilled workers to meet the demands of the construction industry and other related fields. We are committed to making a positive impact on the lives of students and their communities, and we are dedicated to helping to create a brighter future for the skilled trades.
