🎙️ Electricians, apprentices, tradespeople, tool lovers and DIYers, Dustin and Drake sit down with Milwaukee Tool’s Scott Teson to explore how Milwaukee is redefining what it means to support the skilled trades 💪.
From empowering local youth through the Milwaukee Academy of Science and Big Step, to supporting veterans, women, and underrepresented groups in the trades, Milwaukee isn’t just talking the talk. They're taking real action. 🛠️
We tackle BIG questions in this episode:
Can the 5-year apprenticeship model evolve?
Why aren't more schools promoting the trades?
How can we make trades more appealing to Gen Z?
Is tech the key to rebranding blue-collar work?
What role should manufacturers play in workforce development?
👷 Whether you’re an apprentice, master electrician, or thinking about a career in the trades, this conversation is for YOU.
