The Skilled Trades Advisory Council has officially earned nonprofit status. Founded one year ago, STAC is comprised of leaders across the construction, retail and skilled trades industries who joined forces to combat the crisis facing skilled labor in the U.S. and Canada.
As part of the summer-long, all-girls construction camp MyWIC, middle school and high school girls will visit Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia on Thursday, Aug. 1, at 9:45 a.m. to participate in the Skilled Trades All-Star Program.
The city's west side will soon be home to a $30 million facility that will provide free skilled trades training for up to 1,500 students per year — and they'll earn wages and benefits while they learn.
