Published: March 04, 2022
American Home Shield, one of the largest home service plan brands in the nation, recently joined with BUILD show host Matt Risinger (also part of the Be Pro Be Proud initiative) to create this video designed to attract high school students to the skilled trades. “We are committed to helping our industry close the labor gap by attracting new talent — including women and minorities — to the skilled trades,” said Rex Tibbens, Frontdoor president and chief executive officer for American Home Shield. “We remain focused on helping to raise awareness regarding how skilled trades like appliance, plumbing, electrical, spa/pool and HVAC repair offer compelling, tech-forward and lucrative careers, job security and opportunities to make a real impact on the lives of others as well as our nation’s economy.”

SkillsUSA students have been elected as national officers to serve more than 400,000 members for the 2024-25 school year. The 14 high school and college/postsecondary students will serve as advocates for SkillsUSA and career and technical education (CTE) and will lead two national conferences, facilitate sessions for students and instructors and advocate on behalf of SkillsUSA to elected officials and representatives of business and industry as they represent the national organization at various events.
