On "SupplyHouse Launches Third Annual Track to the Trades Scholarship Program, Grows Scholarships to $75K"

SupplyHouse backing a $75K scholarship push for trades students is smart business disguised as philanthropy, and honestly, that's fine—the industry needs the pipeline either way. Thirty grand total spread across thirty kids doesn't move the needle on the actual labor shortage, but the real win is normalizing trades as a pathway before kids get locked into four-year debt. If you're hiring, this is the noise level you're competing against now—suppliers are showing up for recruitment where contractors largely aren't. Pay attention to where young people are getting recruited, because that's where they'll expect to work.
