Why Choose a Skilled Trade?
Excellent pay, unlimited opportunity In the six months since Hurricane Harvey swept ashore in coastal Texas, billions of dollars in aid have poured into the region, along with thousands of relief workers and volunteers. So what’s holding up the recovery process? A lack of skilled tradespeople who can frame houses, patch roofs, restore plumbing, run wire, repair roads and perform the hundreds of tasks it takes to rebuild a community after a major disaster. Jeff Schlegelmilch, deputy director of the National Center for Disaster Preparedness at Columbia University, writing in The Hill, a U.S. political journal, points to the critical need to bring more skilled tradespeople into the workforce. Indeed, a recent study he references by the Associated General Contractors of America notes that 70 percent of construction companies can’t find enough qualified tradespeople. Other sectors, including trucking and auto repair, report shortages of workers as well. One of the reasons skilled tradespeople remain in short supply is that not enough new workers are entering the field while boomers are retiring at a steady clip. Emsi, an economicmodeling company, has determined that more than half of all skilled trades workers are well over 45. As a result, the company expects the skilled trades to remain in the highest jobcreating category. Not only are skilled tradespeople finding that employers are willing to roll out the red carpet for them, these sought after workers are also able to launch careers without high student loan debt burdens. The Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce calculates there are 30 million good jobs that pay an average of $55,000 per year – without a bachelor’s degree. The skilled trades fall well within this category; most tradespeople begin their careers backed by short-term certification courses, technical training programs, an associate’s degree or an apprenticeship. Corey McCray, vice president for the Center for Workplace Solutions at Tidewater Community College, is he spreading the word about the excellent career opportunities found in the trades. TCC offers a number of certification courses and associate degree programs that allow

(Median wages - bls.gov) students to enter the workforce quickly, yet continue their education at any point they desire. “Our students can earn an entry-level credential that qualifies them for immediate employment, but it’s stackable toward additional certifications or an associate’s degree,” explains McCray. “So they’re no longer in a position where they have to choose between work or college. They can do both if that’s their desire – these are training opportunities that stay with them for a lifetime.” Additional training is often paid for by employers. “We see it all the time,” says McCray. “Students earn their initial certification, begin a job, then return to us to work toward their associate’s degree with tuition assistance. They get that first credential, and from there, they just take off. “Our programs are based on labor market data and input from industry so we work to make certain these are real career opportunities, it’s not that $9-$10 an hour job. As you earn these credentials, you can move from entry level to supervisor to upper-level management along that continuum. There are no limits.” Bobby Jackson, Old Dominion University’s mechanical/electrical shop manager, loves working for the university, and it didn’t take a
Ph.D. to earn his spot on the employee roster. “I started in the trades and that’s where I’ve always worked,” says Jackson, who began his career as a helper at the Port of Virginia, learning the HVAC and electrical fields and moving up into management. “The trades are not a dead end career,” he says. The skilled trades field represents hundreds of individual job categories that cater to a wide variety of talents and career goals. “Mechatronics didn’t even exist back in the day, and the whole field of advanced manufacturing has just changed so much,” notes Mike Summers, provost at TCC’s Virginia Beach Campus. “It’s full of electronics and robots. Any manufacturing in this country is now clean and high tech, and it’s certainly a field that continues to grow. “And in our region, the shipyards represent tremendous career opportunities. We build and repair the most sophisticated naval vessels in the world. If you learn welding or pipefitting and go to work for one of these shipyards, you’ll be turning $80,000 in a couple of years. You can raise a family on that. “Then we’ve got the port and all the logistic jobs that go with that. These are just really exciting fields today. It’s all just a matter of finding what interests you,” says Summers. A good resource to begin researching a career in the skilled trades is the Virginia Community College System’s online Wizard (www.vawizard.org), which offers a regional overview of available jobs, how much they pay and what type of training is necessary to work in that field. Once you settle on a trade, with training and a willingness to work, you’ll be successful says ODU’s Jackson. “If you’ve got that, then the jobs are there.”

As home to a bustling port and commercial hub, Hampton Roads sends a large number of trucks on their way every day. But as busy as our region is, we still account for only a small portion of the nearly three million trucks on the road today. With large numbers of older pros reaching retirement age, the need for drivers will only increase. Rebecca Higginbotham, the program coordinator for ATI’s commercial driving program, says the school can’t train drivers fast enough. “We have recruiters come in from different companies all the time and I’d say 90 percent of our students have job offers before they even graduate,” she says. That driver shortage is pushing up pay. “Wages, especially in some of the longer haul segments where the shortage is most acute, have been going up aggressively and will continue to go up aggressively,” says Bob Costello, chief economic advisor for ATA (American Trucking Associations). Costello places the median pay for drivers at about $55,000 a year. “And that’s only the start of it because you’re also going to get health insurance, you’re going to get a 401(k), you’re going to get paid time off and you’re going to get life insurance. I always tell drivers if you’re not getting that stuff, you need to find another company to work for, it’s out there. And by the way, this is for a non-union job.” Today’s truckers can expect to drive well-appointed trucks that ride comfortably and are packed with job-easing technology. Some trucks are even equipped with an automatic transmission and cruise control. “And you’re going to have an onboard computer system that will dispatch you and keep track of your hours so you don’t have to fill out a paper log,” points out Costello. Then there’s the safety technology, like blind spot detection and warnings if you get too close to another vehicle. Regulated hours of service safeguard drivers from working to the point of sleepiness, satellite navigation is the norm, and over-the-road drivers bring all the comforts of home with them, such as microwaves, small refrigerators, sinks, and televisions. “And a lot of companies have a great pet policy, so you can bring your pet on the road with you,” Costello says. To enter the industry, drivers must pass a Department of Transportation physical and earn a commercial driver’s license (CDL). Several local career schools and community colleges offer specialized training programs, including ATI’s eight-week program. “We have both morning and evening classes,” says Higginbotham, and age and gender is no barrier to entry. For students who take out a school loan to pay for the program, Costello has good news. “Once you get that commercial driver’s license and go to work for a trucking company, most of them will pay about $200 a month until that loan is paid off,” he says. There are a number of different industries that hire drivers. “We have some students who don’t want to do over-the-road driving and they go to work for HRT or the schools driving buses,” says Higginbotham. Right now, HRT is offering a $1,000 sign-on bonus to new CDL drivers. “And at HRT, you have the opportunity to start out in buses and move to light rail,” Higginbotham notes. If you’re searching for a stable, well-paying career, put commercial driving at the top of your list. “I see nothing but growth in the future – drivers will always have a job,” says Higginbotham.

HVAC techs today are as likely to be called on to perform critical repairs to a multi-million dollar piece of industrial equipment as they are to install a new energy-efficient system at a residence. “This field has changed significantly in the past 10 years because of advances in technology,” says Dave Philpott, the HVAC program coordinator at ATI (Advanced Technology Institute). “We install HVAC units that communicate wirelessly, and work on smart home systems you access through an app on your phone now; it gives you a level of control that was never achievable before. You have to keep up with all of that or you’re going to be lost.” Harlan Krepcik, the HVAC program head at Tidewater Community College, agrees. “For HVAC, the body of technical knowledge doubles every two years – it’s actually a little under 1.8 years – and that technical capability that the industry has developed shows up in the equipment. Very simply, you have to understand a lot more today than even 10 years ago.” HVAC techs are not only technologically savvy – they can also lay claim to most wanted status. The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects a job growth rate of 15% through 2026, which it characterizes as much faster than average. “Over the next 3 to 5 years, we have to replace as many as 115,000 HVAC technicians,” says Todd Washam, Director of Industry and External Relations for the Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA), a national trade organization. “And contractors right now don’t know where they are going to find them. Ninety percent of the people we survey say workforce is the biggest issue they face; it’s inhibiting their business growth.” Because of the growing demand for skilled HVAC technicians, workers are able to choose from a wide variety of worksites. “People in the trade take care of hospitals, high-rise buildings, manufacturing plants – over 55 percent of the energy used in the United States is consumed by HVAC equipment,” Krepcik says. “Our students go to work for both large and small HVAC companies, HVAC supply houses, even the shipyards,” lists Philpott. “With HVAC, there are so many different opportunities open to you. You can do installation in homes, or if you like computers you can build the automated systems used at places like universities. It’s a field where you can start your own business once you’ve been working for a while. Then there’s the refrigeration side, which is so important to hospitals and grocery stores. “Everybody has a need for heating and air conditioning,” says Philpott. “These jobs aren’t going away.” ATI offers an 11-month diploma program and a 15-month associate of occupational studies degree. Many students are hired before they even graduate, says Philpott, and get a jumpstart on their careers while finishing school. “You don’t need a background in HVAC; we’ll take you from the beginning and teach you everything you need to give you a foundation for a great future.” Job security, great pay and the opportunity to work with increasingly high-tech equipment – all excellent reasons to consider a career in the HVAC field.

Automotive Technicians For those with a knack for problem solving, welcome to the well-paying world of automotive techs. This rapidly evolving field has been heavily impacted by technology, from diagnostic software to common hand tools. “Even the wrenches are shaped differently – they’re made to fit your hand ergonomically so you don’t develop joint problems after 20 or so years of using them on the job,” says Mark Maund, the auto program coordinator at Tidewater Tech. Computerized diagnostic equipment has been in place awhile now, but even that is seeing significant upgrades. “It’s wireless,” says Maund. “We’ve got so many computer tools and pieces of equipment to attach to a car and you used to plug those wires into the dashboard. Now you can pick up that information on a computer in the shop with your scanning device while the car is outside.” Yes, students can still expect to spend hands-on time repairing engines, brakes and other auto systems – they’ll just bring high-tech tools and computer savvy to each job. If you enjoy working with your mind as much as your hands, this is the field to go into, says Maund. “They’re not auto mechanics anymore, they’re technicians,” says Rubin Beno, director of TCC’s Regional Automotive Center. “And the reason for that is the complexity of the vehicles they work on. Not only do they perform maintenance work, but they have to be able to diagnose and repair the vehicle, they have to make determinations, read a wiring diagram, follow a flow chart, and understand computer networking – it’s amazing the technology that goes into these vehicles.” To get started, technicians earn either an associate’s degree or diploma in automotive technology, which prepares them for the ASE certification exams, the industry standard. Tidewater Tech’s program takes 45 weeks to complete, and Maund regularly places graduates in local dealerships, independent repair shops and other workplaces, sometimes before they’ve even finished the program. “A lot of our students go on to become master techs while others are really
interested in one or two particular areas, so they’ll focus on say engine performance or electrical troubleshooting, get certified in those, and go on to have good careers as specialists.” Those with entrepreneurial leanings often open their own shops. “As long as you have the people skills and pick up some business knowledge so you’ll know how to handle things like the taxes and the benefits, you can definitely go into business for yourself,” says Maund. Females do as well as males, and the field attracts new high school grads as well as career switchers and military veterans. At TCC, Rubin sees students who already hold degrees taking seats next to new high school grads. “We have students with associate’s degrees, bachelor’s degrees, even a couple who have master’s degrees,” he says. “Some of them couldn’t find jobs, and some found work they didn’t like well enough to do for the rest of their lives. It’s amazing how well people do when they find something they’re passionate about.” The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects a 6% growth rate in automotive mechanic and tech openings through 2026, with a median hourly pay rate of $18.50. Experienced mechanics with formal automotive training and top-notch diagnostic and computer skills can command more than $64,000 a year. There can be other perks as well. Right now, HRT (Hampton Roads Transit) is offering skilled mechanics a $2,500 sign-on bonus, generous benefits and opportunities for advancement. “There is so much opportunity for any student who wants to work,” says Rubin. “Cars aren’t going away. They may evolve, but even with new technology, like cars that drive themselves, you still have to have people who can diagnose and repair them. This is a skill you can take anywhere.” Maund agrees – “If you go to school for auto mechanics, you will find work if you want it – and it will be a career, it won’t be a job.”

Shipbuilding and Ship Repair When you look at regional economic impact, diversity of occupations, and the sheer number of skilled trades jobs available, in Hampton Roads, shipbuilding is king. With our high concentration of working ports and naval bases, the area is a natural host for shipbuilders and ship repair firms, from large organizations that employ tens of thousands of workers, to smaller businesses and subcontractors that may hire a few workers or several hundred. For skilled tradespeople who work in the marine sector, there are more well-paying jobs than qualified people to fill them – and employers are scrambling to fill the gap. Compounding the problem is the steady drain of retiring workers as baby boomers leave the workforce.
SHIPYARD STAFFING IS HIRING! Whether you are a First Class tradesperson, a Helper, or anything in between, Apply with us today for these positions and more (all trades needed)…
“The average age in the shipyard trades is roughly about 55,” says William “Bill” Crow, president of the locally-based Virginia Ship Repair Association. “So with 40,000 workers in the area, you’re going to have to replace about 16,000 to 18,000 of them in the next six years or so.” Not only are the jobs in demand, but the paychecks can be quite high, says Crow. “There was a maritime administration study completed two years ago, and the average yearly income of shop-level and below

workers across the ship repair and building industry was $73,000,” he says. “Now your 18-year-old is going to start out as a helper in the shipyard, they’re not going to make that $73,000 right away,” notes Crow. “But the other part of it is, when you talk about the industry and the shortages in staffing that we’re facing, I got a call last year from someone asking how raising the minimum wage would affect shipbuilding and repair, and I said it won’t. We are already paying well above minimum wage, even for a helper to come into our shipyards to do a fire watch or those types of things.” Advancement opportunities are excellent – much of the leadership at local shipyards came up through So with those kind of wages and promotion options, why aren’t job seekers looking to the shipbuilding 4-year degree and we’ve lost focus on the trades and technical certifications,” says Crow. “We don’t grasp their significance and importance to our economy.” In Virginia, for instance, the shipbuilding and ship repair industry supports over 60,000 jobs and contributes over $5.5 billion to the state’s bottom line. In Hampton Roads alone, the sector is one of the largest jobs producers. “What we are attempting to do as an association is to partner with the local academic institutions, high schools and technical centers in the area and then to expand that across the state to implement measures that will allow us to raise awareness that ship repair is a very viable career that is upwardly mobile, with a good income and very, very good benefits.” Crow would also like to banish outdated notions about trade labor as dull, dreary work – instead, problem solvers and creative people are right at home. “You’ve got to have your basic science, technology and math, but these skilled tradespeople are also artists,” he says. “Welders are Picassos in their own way, they really are. They lay a bead that keeps water inside a pipe or keeps a ship from sinking. It takes them time to hone their skills, their talents, their abilities. It’s not a rote memory skill.” The industry is home to a wide variety of trades that suit a diversity of interests, including shipfitters, electricians, carpenters, inside machinists, laggers, pipefitters, electronics technicians, outside machinists, welders, riggers, quality control inspectors and a host of other specialties. Great pay, generous benefits and rewarding work – it’s smooth sailing with the shipbuilding trades.

Construction Trades If building a well-paying, long-term career is at the top of your job-hunting list, then look no further than the construction trades. In cyclical boom times, skilled tradespeople in this field can’t work enough hours to satisfy demand. During downturns, their talents make way for them in related sectors – bridges, dams and other critical infrastructure still require maintenance, manufacturers are dependent on miles of wiring to deliver uninterrupted power, and businesses need reliable heating and cooling systems. With such a diverse menu of occupations and workplace settings on offer, along with unlimited opportunities for professional growth, why are employers having such a hard time filling hardhats? “I talk to people about this all the time,” says Chris Robards, regional operations manager for Crowder Construction Company, a general contracting firm with specialties in civil, environmental and industrial construction. “Growing up you’re told you’ve got to go to college, and so someone who has this love for carpentry or welding or electrical work and wants to go into a trade, that career choice is undermined. And that’s not right.” For those who do go into the construction trades, the rewards can be significant. “The construction market is booming and the number of qualified workers is low; what we’re seeing is that anyone who is good at what they do is employed if they want to be,” says Robards. “If you master your trade, you can name your job, where you want to work, you can almost name your paycheck. What better position to be in?” And if your impression of construction work features a male-only cast, it’s time to bring that stereotype up to date and make way for the many women who are wielding hammers, pouring concrete, supervising crews and otherwise building successful careers in the field. Carol Curtis, president and CEO of Noah Enterprises, a locally-based general contracting firm, says the glass ceiling has been broken. “Women by all means are welcome in the construction industry and there are many, many opportunities, whether it’s with a construction firm, a design or engineering firm, in the private sector or with a municipality – the doors are open,” she says. That appreciation translates to some very good paychecks. “You can come out of a welding program and make anywhere from $60,000 to $80,000 a year,” says Curtis. “You’re well-respected and you’re out there making a really good living. And to do something you love and make a career out of it is just amazing.” It’s not just the hefty paychecks that attract workers to the construction trades, says Doug Smith, a vice president with Hearndon Construction, a local building firm. “This guy is a college graduate, and I asked him what makes you want to build houses when you have a degree. He told me he likes working outside, and he enjoys taking a slab of concrete and making it into a house with his hands – he’s like an artist painting a picture. So he’s happier today than when he was working in the corporate world.” Those with an entrepreneur bent can even start their own companies, says Smith. “If you learn your trade, there are plenty of opportunities. My framer, my roofer, my plumber and my heat and air guy, they all started out on the bottom and they all own their own businesses today. So there is a lot of upward mobility in the construction trades if you have vision.”

Electricians High-rise construction projects, suburban home developments, manufacturing plants, shipyards and businesses – it’s electricians who bring these all of these sites humming to life. From designing wiring layouts and doing the install to troubleshooting problems and handling repair work, the market for skilled electricians doesn’t have an off switch. “We’ve been very fortunate in this area,” says Mike Iacobellis, a licensed electrician and director of the Tidewater Electrical Industry Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee (JATC). “Our contractors do an array of work – industrial, commercial, a lot of government work.” Electricians can expect to remain in demand – the National Electrical Contractors Association says that for every 7,000 electricians who join the field each year, 10,000 retire. Along with plenty of job openings, electricians can expect good pay – the Bureau places the current median wage at $55,920 a year, with the top 10 percent earning more than $84,990/yr. In Virginia, electricians must be licensed and there are several pathways into the trade. Community colleges, along with career and technical schools, offer excellent programs that lead to the required state license. Tidewater Community College offers a number of options, including a short-term

Ekker, dean of engineering, mathematics, and industrial technologies at Tidewater Community College’s
The Electrician is experienced in industrial or institutional wiring, preventative maintenance and has a strong background in troubleshooting and repair.This individual installs, maintains and repairs wiring systems, circuits, electrical fixtures and electrical equipment using schematics, diagrams, blueprints. Responsibilities include conducting operational tests of the electrical systems; following operational and departmental guidelines; and for meeting all regulatory and compliance requirements. A High School Graduation or Equivalent or TRADE School Graduate is required. 5 years of related experience. Valid DMV and Journeyman Electrician License is required. Questions please contact asetheri@sentara.com enter Keyword Search: 107874BR
“You would be amazed at what some of our students earn with an associate’s degree,” says David Virginia Beach campus. “They can start in the $50,000s.” Other electricians acquire their skills in a four or five-year apprenticeship program like the one Iacobellis oversees. One of the advantages of the apprenticeship option is that you earn a paycheck while you learn. “It’s paid on-the-job training, and one of the nice things about our program, since it’s union sponsored, is that apprentices actually receive health insurance and retirement benefits that are all paid for by the contractor who is employing them,” lists Iacobellis. “By the time they go into the second year of the program, they receive a total of three pensions that are paid for automatically. “We get a lot of applicants right out of high school, but we also get people who want to switch careers; we have apprentices from age 18 to 50 coming in and doing well in the program. It’s open to everybody who is looking for a career and once you graduate from the program there’s always opportunity there. You can be your own boss, you can become an estimator, a project manager, a foreman – there’s no limit to what you can do in this trade,” he says. Applications are accepted year round, but the classroom portion of the apprenticeship starts each September. You’ll find an application form at www.ibew80.com, or for more information you can call Iacobellis at 757-480-2812. A related field to consider is engineering technology. An associate’s degree in this area of study opens the door to a wealth of well-paying jobs. Tidewater Community College and local career training schools offer a number of engineering-related associate degree programs – and employers are snapping up graduates. One popular program is TCC’s coursework in Mechatronics. “Mechatronics has to do with robots,” says Ekker, “and when you think about it, there are over a million robots being used in manufacturing in the

United States. The robots require someone who can program them, maintain them and troubleshoot them when they break. “We’ve been trying to figure out a way of exposing more people to these opportunities,” says Ekker. “These are jobs that are right here in our area and they are high-paying jobs.” PM-25632384D

Maintenance Trades Anything a skilled tradesperson builds – a highway, a power plant, an apartment building – requires another skilled tradesperson to maintain. Make that a small army of skilled tradespeople. From public parks to office towers to schools, you’ll find grounds and janitorial maintenance crews mowing and cleaning. At factories, technicians lubricate and test huge mechanical systems. Along roadways, crews repair damaged asphalt and clear drainage ditches. Clearly, the roster of maintenance trades professionals is a diverse one. In addition to being sought after by private industry, maintenance tradespeople are also recruited by the communities they live in. For instance, HRSD (Hampton Roads Sanitation District) attracts those who like the idea of working for an organization that is committed to safeguarding the environment and providing services that residents depend on. “At HRSD, we hire everyone from plant operators and engineers all the way through instrumentation specialist, electricians, maintenance operators, heavy equipment operators, facility assistants and in my division we have interceptor technicians, pump station supervisors and conveyance system supervisors,” lists Chris Stephan, HRSD’s Chief of Interceptor Operations, North Shore. “A lot of people start at an assistant position where they kind of get their feet wet and find out what we do, decide what they like,” describes Stephan. “The beautiful thing about HRSD is that you can work your way up the chain. It all depends on initiative, drive and capabilities.” If more training is required to make the job you want a good match, HRSD offers generous education benefits, including 4-year apprenticeship programs in eight different trades. “Upon graduation, you’d be a licensed journeyman in your trade,” Stephan says. Unlike a lot of other employment sectors, wastewater treatment and management is not a field that can be outsourced. “It’s not only job security and excellent benefits, but you also have the added benefit of a purpose in your job,” says Stephan. “You can go into a lot of jobs, and they’re good jobs, very honorable, but here we’re actively working to protect the environment.” One of the hallmarks of a skilled trades career is exceptional opportunity for advancement. John McCarthy, a program coordinator at Tidewater Tech, often tells his students to stop thinking in terms of limits. “The only limit is your imagination,” he says. “You can do anything in these trades that you need to do. “We have a building maintenance program here – every building needs somebody to take care of it. I have a friend who does that kind of work in commercial real estate and he’s making upwards of $70,000 a year doing a blue collar job. Young people have been brainwashed into thinking that you have to wear a suit and tie to work to be successful.” The Building Trades Academy (www.buildingtradesacademy.com), created by the Tidewater Builders Association, also has a building maintenance program. “Our program started in 1978 with seed funds from the federal government to train students who are economically disadvantaged at no cost to them,” says Erasto Beard, staff vice president at the academy. The three-month building maintenance program covers carpentry, plumbing, HVAC, electrical wiring and other skills. Graduates are finding jobs with a variety of employers. “These are very good jobs, most of them salaried with benefits, and there’s a career ladder,” Beard says. “One student may go to work for a remodeler and another student can come out of the same class and be hired by an apartment community or even a builder.” “Our graduates learn skills that will last them a lifetime and take them as far as they want to go,” says Megan Hill, recruitment and placement coordinator. “For many, it’s life changing.”.
