There is a shortage of skilled workers in the construction industry for all trades (carpentry, paint, HVAC, electrical and plumbing)

The workforce has aged and many folks are going to college directly out of high school and not into the high-paying (now, as a result of labor shortage) construction industry.

The development of a University of Crafts will have a major socioeconomic impact by positively enhancing self-worth and purpose, as well as helping to reduce poverty through higher wage rates due to growing demand.
