Lowe’s invests
$250 million to train skilled tradespeople
Lowe’s Foundation announced on April 7, a massive expansion of its commitment to training the next generation of construction and trade workers.
As the US faces a major shortage of skilled workers like carpenters, electricians, and plumbers, Lowe’s is making a
$250 million commitment to help train and develop 250,000 tradespeople by 2035 through its Gable Grants program, according to the official press release.
The foundation originally aimed to train 50,000 people with
$53 million invested in 65 organizations, but because they reached that goal much faster than expected, they are significantly increasing their efforts.
