Enhancing trades education with internship programs

In recent years, there has been a noticeable shift in the expectations of younger workers when it comes to internships. Especially within industries like construction and transport, where the quality, long-term worker pool seems to get more shallow by the day, entry-level professionals are seeking more from these opportunities than ever before. But leaders in these industries can use that to their advantage. Internships have also transformed into vital stepping stones for career development rather than mere resume fillers. Younger workers want hands-on experiences that provide practical skills and insights into chosen fields. They crave mentorship from seasoned professionals who can offer guidance and support as they navigate the complexities of the workplace.
