Tennessee needs skilled trades as much as college degrees | Letters

Randy Boyd, president of the University of Tennessee System, is spot-on : Higher education remains a powerful catalyst for opportunity and his vision for our state’s workforce is commendable. Investing in our people is critical to building a stronger Tennessee. At the same time, it’s worth emphasizing that a four-year college degree isn’t the only path to a thriving career. While college is a great choice for many students, it’s just one of several rewarding pathways. In fact, seven out of 10 jobs require less than a four-year degree, yet for every five retiring tradespeople in our state, only two apprentices are in training to take their place. Letters: David Hatley is legit, deserves to be on ballot for governor With Tennessee projecting a need for over 315,000 skilled workers over the next three years, the demand for the trades has never been higher. For thousands of Tennesseans, from recent high school graduates to adults seeking a fresh start, the skilled trades offer an equally rewarding, high-demand and high-wage career path. Letters: Arrogance of Green, Blackburn shows need for Independents Through registered apprenticeships and hands-on training programs, Tennesseans can earn while they learn, entering the workforce debt-free from day one.
