PATHS TO THE TRADES - How to Become a Material Mover. What a material mover does: manually move freight, stock and other materials. Pathways: There are typically no formal education requirements. In most cases, employers require only that applicants can physically perform the work. Typically work full time, some workers will do overnight shifts as materials are shipped around the clock. Employment of material movers is projected to grow 5% from now until 2032! **If you've got any questions about joining the trades, or you want to share trade careers with your students reach out to us in the comments, or through our DMs.** #trades #handson #crewcollab #onthecrew #materialmover #construction

A drywall finisher, also known as a taper, is responsible for preparing unfinished interior drywall panels for painting by taping and finishing joints and imperfections. While formal education isn't typically required, having a high school diploma or GED can be beneficial. Key steps include: On-the-Job Training: Most drywall finishers learn the trade through on-the-job training or apprenticeships. Vocational Schools: Some community colleges and vocational schools offer courses in drywall finishing. Becoming a drywall finisher involves a combination of training, skill development, and hands-on experience. By following these steps and continuously improving your craft, you can establish a successful career in this field. #drywall #trades #handson #crewcollab #onthecrew

In a world where the traditional college route is often emphasized, it's important to remember that there are many paths to a fulfilling and successful career. Blue-collar jobs and skilled trades offer rewarding opportunities that shouldn't be overlooked. College is a great option for many, but it's not the only path to success. Blue-collar careers offer robust opportunities for those who prefer hands-on work, job security, and the chance to earn a good living without the burden of student debt. Explore the possibilities and find the path that's right for you. #AlternativePaths #BlueCollarJobs #SkilledTrades #CareerSuccess #JobSecurity #HandsOnLearning #crewcollab #onthecrew
