The pandemic has exacerbated this problem with millions of workers displaced since early 2020. In addition, the shift to remote and hybrid learning significantly impacted career and technical education (CTE) schools and classes, which rely heavily on hands-on learning. Almost 60% of CTE administrators reported lower enrollment in their programs for 2021<sup>3<\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<span class=\"xn-person\">Stanley Black<\/span> &amp; Decker is for the makers, the builders and the tradespeople, those out doing the hard work to create the world around us and build a better future for themselves, their families and their communities,&#8221; said <span class=\"xn-person\">Stanley Black<\/span> &amp; Decker CEO, <span class=\"xn-person\">Jim Loree<\/span>. &#8220;Over the last several decades, vocational schools and careers in the trades have been overshadowed, despite the excellent, well-paying jobs and career paths they offer. Our goal is to recognize and advance those organizations that are working to create the skilled workers and tradespeople of the future that our society needs. For those workers displaced by the pandemic, especially women, people of color and veterans, we want to encourage them to trade up to a career in the trades.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>\n        <span class=\"xn-person\">Stanley Black<\/span> &amp; Decker aims to change misconceptions about skilled trade jobs, including the notion that these careers are not financially rewarding.
