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.
