A survey conducted by Metal Supermarkets revealed that over half of young adults said they’ve never considered going to trade school. Metal Supermarkets franchisees realize the value of young adults pursuing a career in the trades and have been participating in a job training program for high school students. Bobby Shackelford went through the training program and got hired a few months ago at the Salt Lake City, UT location. Metal Supermarkets Salt Lake City franchisee Ken Sparks says that young people give a different perspective than his generation and it adds diversity to the workplace.
