FOR THE TRADES
It goes beyond a commitment—it’s a passion.
THE POWER OF SUPPORT
From tools to time, we support pros on the toughest jobsites. Here’s how DEWALT® is fortifying the future of
the trades through initiatives that support and grow skills for tradespeople.
Helping Skill, Reskill and Upskill Tradespeople
DEWALT GROW THE TRADES GRANT
With an estimated 10 million global manufacturing jobs currently unfilled, the trade skills gap is an urgent challenge. That’s why we’re committing $30 million in grant money over five years to nonprofits – helping fund important vocational skills training and reskilling programs in construction. Together we can close the trade skills gap and help grow the trades.
