GENERATIONAL PATH
WE ARE CONSTRUCTION TRADE, WE BUILT THE COUNTRY!!
THE SQEAKY WHEEL GETS THE OIL
Many construction workers ascend the ladder to success by accumulating savings and acquiring both knowledge and tools. Often, they are unaware of the available funding to get started, and even if they stumble upon it, the paperwork seems designed for those with a college education. J&J aims to make a difference by guiding startup companies on structuring their business in a manner that helps to secure seed money, which is a massive because grants help with tools and vehicle expenses. gas cards, office supplies, even free blueprints if need be.

JESUS was a carpenter. the trade industry was passed from generation to generation for over 2000 years. why a shortage now?
Background checks limited who good contractors could hire. when my contractor took on some Lowes contracts, I was the only sub left out of six. My sons, my daughter, and my grandchildren started site cleaning at two. grouting by five, and well they aren't standing in line at a soup kitchen. If what worked is taken, and the failure with billions to college trade programs have a success rate of 1 in 5 graduates. It's time we join the big table.

The soup kitchen effect.
The soup kitchen effect is a poignant illustration of the complex interplay between empathy and need.
