Closing America's Skills Gap, One Scholarship at a Time
The mikeroweWORKS Foundation, founded by skilled-trades advocate Mike Rowe, is on a mission to close America's growing skills gap by putting people on a path to essential, well-paying work. Through the largest trade scholarship program in the country, the Foundation has helped over 2,600 people train as electricians, welders, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and dozens of other in-demand trades—rewarding work ethic over GPA and proving you don't need a four-year degree to build a fulfilling, six-figure career. Beyond scholarships, mikeroweWORKS is changing the national conversation about the dignity and opportunity in the jobs that keep our country running.
