Metal Supermarkets Trade School Scholarship

_ The Metal Supermarkets Trade School Scholarship aims to support students pursuing careers in various trades fields that are desperately need in many communities_

This year, Metal Supermarkets is expanding our support for future skilled trades professionals, awarding $20,000 in scholarships to eight recipients!

North America is facing a workforce shortage and skills gap in the trades. The United States is projected to need 320,500 new welding professionals by 2029, while 5 tradespeople retire for every 2 who enter the field. Similarly, in Canada, over 256,000 skilled tradespeople are needed over the next decade to meet demand.

As the demand for skilled tradespeople continues to grow across North America, this year we aim to further strengthen our commitment by assisting students pursuing careers in these fields, which are vital to a wide variety of industries and to maintaining and developing critical infrastructure.
