Aaron Hilger Interviewed for National Careers in Trades Week!

In the lead-up to National Careers in Trades Week, SMACNA CEO Aaron Hilger was interviewed by local TV stations in San Francisco, CA, Fargo, ND, and Jackson, TN. 

SMACNA is Partnering with Sheet Metal, Air, Rail, and Transportation Workers (SMART) and the International Training Institute (ITI) to launch the first National Careers in Trades Week (April 7-11, 2025). This effort aims to raise awareness of the benefits of choosing careers in skilled trades by demonstrating that these pathways are abundant, in demand, and projected to stay that way.

SMACNA is dedicated to educating people about the benefits of employment in the essential skilled trades and showcasing the value of the people and fields that build the world in which we live, work, and play. National Careers in Trades Week further demonstrates SMACNA’s commitment to this mission.
