Every day, the shortage in the skilled trades workforce becomes more urgent. Studies show that 85% of contractors report trouble finding skilled workers, and an estimated 546,000 new skilled tradespeople will be needed to meet demand in 2023 alone. To help address this critical issue nationwide, the Lowe's Foundation launched the Gable Grants program, a five-year, $50 million commitment to train 50,000 job-ready skilled tradespeople to support our communities for the long term. From 2023 to 2028, community and technical colleges and community-based nonprofit organizations across the country can apply for grants to recruit, train and employ the future skilled trades workforce. Lowe's is also proud to offer associates tuition-free trades certifications through our Track to the Trades program. Track to the Trades offers associates the chance to grow their career at Lowe’s or to jump-start a career in the trades. Graduates leave the program better equipped to serve our customers or for a skilled trade apprenticeship.
