Our Mission
STAC aims to unite the skill trades community and inspire North America's youth to consider related careers.
Who is STAC?
The Skilled Trades Advisory Council is a group of national advocates who have aligned to address this predicament head on. Inaugural members include leaders across the construction, retail, facilities management and skilled trades industries who are ready to create awareness and opportunities on the growing need for skilled trades men and women.
To combat the crisis facing skilled labor in the U.S. and Canada, STAC’s founding advisors will leverage their resources, knowledge, and network to elevate the skilled trades as high-paying, honorable, and often heroic career paths, including electrical, plumbing, HVAC, janitorial, construction, and other essential jobs that require a rejuvenated workforce.
Staffing firm People Ready estimates 40% of the 12 million people in the skilled trades workforce are over the age of 45, with nearly half of those workers over the age of 55.
