DEARBORN, Mich., March 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The demand for skilled workers is higher than ever as professionals in the trades retire at a faster rate than younger workers replace them, estimated to leave three million skilled roles unfilled by 2028.1 Despite the widening labor shortage, women only make up roughly 4% of the U.S. skilled workforce2, which is why America's premium workwear brand, Carhartt, is awarding critical funding to organizations that help light the way for women to explore meaningful careers and increase representation in the trades.

Key Points: 
  • "However, these jobs often reside in historically male-dominated industries that present added obstacles for women looking to get involved.
  • Within our program, approximately 30% of the Metallica Scholars have historically been women, and we want that trend to continue.
  • This isn't the first time Carhartt and All Within My Hands have teamed up to help close the skilled trades gap.
