There’s a lot to be excited about! More young people are realizing the benefits of a career in the skilled trades.
For young adults, good pay, available job opportunities and the chance to develop valuable skills are some of the biggest draws of the skilled trades. These careers offer the opportunity to learn by doing, solve real-world problems, work hands-on and build practical skills that can benefit them throughout their careers and everyday lives.
This renewed interest in the skilled trades is an opportunity for everyone involved to help more young people discover what these careers have to offer. The more opportunities young people have to explore skilled work firsthand, the more chances they have to discover what they enjoy doing, what they’re good at and where those skills can take them.
Learning by Doing
For a lot of people working in the trades today, shop class was where it started. A chance to work with your hands, try something new and see if you liked it. Sometimes, you find a skill you’re good at simply because you finally get the chance to try it.
For schools, training programs and businesses, upgrading a shop can be an investment in the people learning in it. The right tools and machinery give students the opportunity to build practical skills and gain experience with equipment designed for real-world applications.
We’re here to support new and aspiring tradespeople, skilled workers and the companies that train and employ them. Lenmark is your go-to source for quality shop equipment, with up to $2,500 off woodworking equipment, plus deals on metalworking, welding, warehouse equipment and more.

Keep the Momentum Going
For businesses in the trades, a new generation of interested workers is more than a reason to celebrate, it’s an opportunity to start building the workforce you’ll need for years to come!
Apprentices can bring new skills and fresh ideas to a business while learning from experienced workers. They can also help employers build a pipeline of talent, improve retention and prepare for the next generation of workers as experienced tradespeople retire.
Supporting new workers takes an investment in training, mentorship and the tools they need to do the job, but with the right equipment and support, businesses can turn today’s interest in the trades into tomorrow’s skilled workforce.
