The scholarship will be applied to the 2018-2019 academic year for 28 recipients
MALVERN, Pa. — CertainTeed, a North American manufacturer of building materials, has continued its partnership with Fine Homebuilding to #KeepCraftAlive by donating $20,000 to SkillsUSA.
This year, Fine Homebuilding raised $70,000 to fund scholarships for SkillsUSA students in construction-related fields for the 2018-2019 academic year, an increase from the $25,000 awarded last year. This dramatic increase from last year’s efforts is due in part to the positive impact of industry leaders and strong focus on closing the skills gap, considering that the housing industry continues to grow yet there is still a shortage of trained, qualified labor.
