HAMPTON – Gov. Chris Sununu said as the state’s economy recovers from the pandemic, he anticipates a deficit of more than 1,500 skilled trade jobs.
He said the state has to be in the best position in the region to build the strongest workforce of tomorrow.
Sununu visited the New Hampshire School of Mechanical Trades in Hampton Monday afternoon to speak with high school students enrolled in a career pathway program that exposes them to plumbing, electrical, oil and heat and air conditioning.
The pilot program was created via a $10,000 grant received by the Hampton Area Chamber of Commerce in conjunction with Winnacunnet High School and the trades school on Towle Farm Road in Hampton.
HAMPTON – Kevin Hart, of Hart Plumbing and Heating, says there are plenty of opportunities for a young person looking to have a successful and rewarding career in the trades.
The Seacoast-based company, owned by his brother, is always on the hunt for skilled workers and is consistently busy with non-emergency appointments scheduled four to six weeks out.
“We have 14 guys and those 14 guys can work overtime whenever they want to work overtime,” Hart said. “That s how busy we are.”
With the average licensed electrician and master plumber aged 55 in New Hampshire, the state is facing a skilled worker shortage as a generation of tradesmen gets ready to retire. And homeowners, Martin said, are already starting to see the impact with higher prices for service and long wait times if it’s a non-emergency.
