Path to Pro Programs will Deliver 15 Million Introductions to High-Demand Construction Careers
The Home Depot and The Home Depot Foundation set a new goal to deliver 15 million introductions to skilled construction trades careers by 2032, anchored by the launch of the free Path to Pro Skills Explorers curriculum for students ages 11-17. The initiative responds to a widening labor gap: the Bureau of Labor Statistics projects 4.1 million construction skilled trades openings over the next decade, while a National Association of Home Builders study finds only 6% of young people are interested in entering these fields.
