Home Trade School Scholarship Metal Supermarkets Trade School Scholarship Metal Supermarkets will Award $2,500 Scholarships to 4 Trade School Students Metal Supermarkets is honored to reaffirm our commitment to supporting the next generation of skilled trade professionals through the fourth annual Trade School Scholarship! The American Welding Society indicates 320,500 new welding professionals projected to be needed by 2029, and a study commissioned by Metal Supermarkets indicates that young people are simply not aware of possible skilled trades careers, with over 62% of respondents indicating they did not learn about trade school opportunities in high school. Similarly, a Canadian government report cited that over 222,000 new apprentices are also needed in the coming years to meet the 2028 demand. As the demand for skilled tradespeople continues to grow across North America, we aim to assist students pursuing careers in these careers which are vital to a wide variety of industries, as well as to maintain and develop critical infrastructure. “The skilled trades don’t just hold strong in an economic downturn—but they are among the rare sectors that continue to experience significant growth in an unpredictable job market” – Jill Quinn, Executive Leader, PeopleReady Skilled Trades.
