Now that moms, dads and siblings have become teachers during this pandemic, it’s a good time to teach kids that a skilled trades occupation might just be for them. Medical assistants, respiratory therapists, licensed practical nurses, state-tested nursing aides, home healthcare aides, truck drivers, chefs (and CMT’s favorites) mechanics and machinists are all essential workers and are working on the battlefield of America as we fight this pandemic. With just a short certification and little to no debt, your children can have a good occupation and a good future. #nationalskilledtradesday
