How PHCC is supporting Apprenticeship:

PHCC Colorado President, Susan Frew, addressed the skills gap in our country and the importance of growing the workforce in her Tedx talk this month. Susan discussed the 1 Million skilled workers that will be missing from our workforce in the next 3-5 years - baby boomers, the largest part of our workforce, are aging out of the system. With 80% of her own plumbing business clients being women, Susan wonders if the answer to this crisis might be women themselves. Watch Susan's Tedx Talk Here.
