Description

This week Rhydon Atzenhoffer welcomes the Executive Director of the Skilled Careers Coalition, Mark Hedstrom, to the HVAC R&D Podcast.

The two discuss the ‘Gen Z toolbelt generation,’ the silver tsunami of retiring tradespeople, and how mentorships and programs like Skills Jam are shaping the future of recruitment and support for the skilled trades. 

Other topics include mental health for the trades, the lack of guidance about skilled careers to those guiding our next generation and what trade Mark would master if he could pick just one.

Thank you to JPL, RLS - Rapid Locking System and Apprentice Now for your support of the show.
