It is a common refrain that is being heard from industry- a sounded alarm regarding the need for skilled trade workers. After decades of seeing fewer students exiting High School and heading into a skilled trade career, there appears to be an emerging shift in the thinking that a successful career must come from a four year degree. Barbra Washer, Director of Development and Programming with the Virginia Ship Repair Association says that the concept of “either go and lean a skilled trade” or “ go to school” is no longer relevant- there exists opportunities to “learn on the job” through apprenticeships.
