SkillsUSA and Mike Rowe share a common goal: to cultivate a strong and skilled American workforce. Mike’s long-standing advocacy for the trades, made famous through “Dirty Jobs” and his mikeroweWORKS Foundation, resonates deeply with SkillsUSA’s commitment to preparing students for success in technical, skilled, and service occupations. This collaboration highlights the dignity of hard work and the immense potential within skilled careers.
We’re both working to inspire the next generation of plumbers, welders, electricians, healthcare technicians, and countless other skilled professionals who are vital to our nation’s prosperity. Mike’s voice adds significant weight to our mission, helping to elevate the perception of skilled trades and encourage more young people to explore these rewarding pathways.
