πŸ‘©πŸ½β€πŸ­πŸ‘·πŸΏβ€β™‚οΈπŸ‘¨πŸ»β€πŸ”§ By the end of the year, @BlueCollarFund will have helped two dozen apprentices & pre-apprentices start or be able to continue their new careers in the trades by providing clothing, protective gear, and financial assistance. We’re just getting started.
Many congratulations are in order for the inaugural cohort of graduating pre-apprentices from PEPP in Spokane. Blue Collar Fund was overjoyed to supply the graduates with lined @Carhartt jackets last Friday and look forward to partnering further with this program in the future!

A big shoutout to all the utility and transportation crews as well as first responders working hard out in the field to clean up and restore! Please be patient with them as they're still dealing with some weather challenges! #wawx
There are a lot of roads closed & a lot of info flying around. We're doing the best we can to keep up but it can take time to get info from the field, especially if it's in a remote spot. Please be patient. Here are accounts to follow: wsdot.wa.gov/travel/know-bef…

There’s still a massive worker shortage in the trades, and there are people who desperately need living wages. But boots, tools, child care, transportation, and other things stand in the way for some folks to start apprenticeship and pre-apprenticeship programs.
