This National Signing Day, Angi Aims to Boost Hiring in the Trades
2024年5月7日 - 5:10AM
Angi, a leading and comprehensive solution for improving and
maintaining homes, today launched several new initiatives in
advance of May 7th’s National Signing Day–a day to acknowledge and
celebrate students who pursue an undergraduate or graduate trade
school training program. Launched today, the Angi Trade Up
Scholarship Program will provide scholarships for students in
construction-related programs at trade schools nationwide. Angi
also announced an expanded partnership with trades jobs platform
BlueRecruit, kicking off on May 7th with a first-of-its-kind
digital career fair. The first annual Angi Trade Up Digital Career
Fair will connect job seekers on the BlueRecruit platform with the
nearly 200,000 home service pros in the Angi network.
Nearly a quarter of tradespeople are approaching retirement age
according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics–a growing concern as
fewer young people enter the skilled trade industries. Angi’s new
efforts are designed to recognize and promote skilled trades
careers and help foster connections between job candidates and home
service professionals looking to grow their business.
“Every home in America needs a team of skilled tradespeople to
care for it. Unfortunately, there are not enough people entering
the trades despite the fact that the careers have extremely high
job satisfaction and are well paid. Angi is committed to changing
the conversation around careers in the trades,” said Angie Hicks,
Co-Founder of Angi.
The new Angi Trade Up Scholarship Program will award $2,500
scholarships to four students who have been accepted to, or are
enrolled in an undergraduate or graduate construction-related trade
program at any trade school, college or university. Scholarship
winners will be chosen by Angi’s Pro Council–a council of home
service professionals made up of pros in the Angi network who
represent businesses with hundreds of collective years of
experience servicing Americans’ homes.
Also announced today, Angi is expanding its partnership with
BlueRecruit, a direct-hire marketplace for skilled trade workers
and the companies seeking their talent. Beginning on May 7th,
BlueRecruit will open its platform to Angi's network of pros at no
cost to create a first-of-its-kind digital career fair:
BlueRecruit’s network of roughly 55,000 job seekers will have the
opportunity to connect 1:1 with Angi's network of pros who are
prepared to match and hire during the Angi Trade Up Digital Career
Fair.
Continued Ms. Hicks, “We want to highlight the compelling
opportunities in the trades and make sure that students who want to
pursue this profession have the support and tools to do so. But
we’re excited to take things one step further. Our expanded
partnership with the BlueRecruit platform will connect interested
students and job candidates directly with pros to learn more about
their career paths as well as specific job opportunities. We’re
excited to do our part to accelerate hiring in these critical
industries.”
"As North America's leading skilled trades training and
employment placement company, we're honored to work alongside
incredible organizations like Angi that strive every day to bring
awareness to the importance of the skilled trades and the men and
women building tomorrow,” said Rich Camacho, CEO of BlueRecruit.
“With our digital career fair on May 7th, we'll be able to help
support connections between the incredible new wave of top talent
available on BlueRecruit with the nation’s top quality home service
companies that use Angi everyday to provide homeowners with
exceptional service and craftsmanship."

benefits of a career in the trades:
