Trade careers have a lot going for the skilled men and women who work in them. Many trades offer the right kind of challenge, as they are highly technical, involve lots of math and sciences, and are changing quickly. A trade career can lead to supervision, management, the professional and business entrepreneurship. Pay rates vary, but are generally very good. The aging workforce means an overall increase in future demand for skilled tradespeople. Employers need people with the right skills! RAP: for Students - The Registered Apprenticeship Program Earn credits toward your apprenticeship and your high school diploma - at the same time! Paid career training before you leave school.
