As the world’s largest supplier of small-quantity metals, Metal Supermarkets<\/strong> is committed to supporting the growth and development of the trades industry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, in recognition<\/a> of the critical skills gap facing North America, the company has announced the recipients of its fourth-annual<\/a> Trade School Scholarship<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year, four talented students from post-secondary schools across the United States and Canada have been awarded $2,500 each to pursue their careers in the trades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About Metal Supermarkets Trade School Scholarship<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The need for skilled trades workers is pressing<\/a>, with over 320,000 welding professionals projected to be needed by 2029.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To address this shortage, Metal Supermarkets established the Trade School Scholarship in 2022<\/strong>, and has since awarded $40,000 to students pursuing valuable careers in the trades. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s learn more about them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bryce Bain, from Norman, Oklahoma, will use the scholarship to continue his welding studies at Tulsa Welding School. His goal?Becoming a certified welding inspector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And Jadea Smith, from Eganville, Ontario, Canada, is a registered welding apprentice with the Ontario Youth Apprenticeship program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Scholarship Selection Process<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The selection process for the Trade School Scholarship was rigorous, with a judging panel consisting of Metal Supermarkets’ corporate staff and franchisees from across North America<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
