Master a skill. Launch a career.

Thanks to my friends at Wells Fargo, we came to Texas to talk to young people and their mentors about the skilled trades. What we learned and what we heard are stories we think everyone should be paying attention to. In short, six figure futures start here.

I’ve been beating the drum on the skilled trades for 17 years now at mikeroweWORKS. We’ve given millions of dollars in scholarships and intend to give millions more. But let me be blunt: we need more people in the trades. Nothing short of our economic and national security is at stake.
