The partnerships with Women in HVACR, Plumbing Heating-Cooling Contractors–National Association (PHCC), and ACCA are a central component of HomeServe’s broader Skilled Trades Initiative and reflect the company’s commitment to fostering workforce development, diversity, and innovation within the HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trades, a HomeServe press release said.

The skilled trades face a significant labor shortage, with the U.S. Department of Labor reporting that nearly 250,000 positions were unfilled as of the end of April 2025. Factors such as an aging workforce, reduced vocational programs, and waning interest among younger people have exacerbated this issue, resulting in project delays and rising costs.

HomeServe is committed to investing in training, education, and workforce development through its Skilled Trades Initiative to ensure the future vitality of these professions, the press release said.

"The shortage of skilled tradespeople is impacting homeowners across the country, and HomeServe is committed to being part of the solution," said HomeServe CEO Tom Rusin. “By partnering with organizations like Women in HVACR, PHCC, and ACCA, we’re not only investing in the future of these industries and supporting the development of a skilled workforce but also ensuring that individuals from all backgrounds have access to rewarding careers in the skilled trades.”

Through its partnerships with these three organizations, HomeServe is providing crucial support for scholarships, mentorship programs, and professional development initiatives to strengthen the skilled trades pipeline, the press release said.
