It is a common misconception that after a disabling injury or illness, the only trade a person is suited for involves sitting behind a desk typing on a computer all day, every day. This is NOT true.

Society has led many to believe that people with disabilities are somehow inferior – that they are not capable of thriving in our world. A common belief is that the only kind of job a disabled person can manage is a desk job – sitting behind a computer all day. This is not true at […]
Despite many people being out of work, many jobs are going unfilled. A survey found skilled trade jobs as the most difficult to fill with welders, machinists, electricians and carpenters/joiners in the highest demand. The reason? There just aren’t enough people with the skills needed for these jobs. Training in the skilled trades has become less […]
