Carhartt launches skilled trades grant programme

American workwear brand Carhartt is looking to plug skill-gap shortages with its new nationwide ‘For the Love of Labor’ grant programme to support organisations dedicated to educating, training and placing workers into meaningful skilled trade jobs.

With an estimated three million skilled trade jobs sitting open in the US, as of June 2022, according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, Carhartt is looking to support organisations in recognised apprenticeship industries to help educate the next generation of workers.
