HOME IMPROVEMENT

According to the National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER) via the Construction Labor Market 20/20 Foresight Report, by 2022, there will be a demand for more than 1.4 million craft professionals across the U.S. In Georgia alone, there is a need for nearly 300,000 craft labor professionals through 2022. A craft labor professional is a tradesperson in a fi eld that requires a specifi c skill set to execute manual labor. These profi table career paths, which include woodworking, interior design, landscape architecture and more, are today providing the men and women in these roles a lifetime of fi nancial freedom, community legacy, and personal satisfaction. In fact, a 2015 study found construction professionals to be among the happiest in the workforce. Perhaps it’s thanks to a bustling economy, maybe it’s due to the surge in DIY and home improvement television, or frankly, it could be because people do not want to be stuck behind their computers all day, but regardless the cause, the home improvement industry is without question experiencing a renaissance. From high school classes and college programs to makerspaces and more, there are several ways to forge a future in this industry.
