Colorado ramps up trade training as skilled-labor gap threatens home-services growth
- A Level 1 HVAC course in Eagle, Colorado is helping train technicians who will work with heat-pumps and other climate‐efficient systems. KUNC
- The state says tradespeople are super essential to its climate-action goals. KUNC
- For home-services businesses (like you at Bumble Bee Blinds & beyond) this means: more access to trade help, but also more competition for quality labor, and potential partnerships with training programs. How you could use it in a Reddit post:
- Ask: “How are you finding and retaining tech/trades partners here in Colorado’s tight labor market?”
- Highlight your angle: “As a home-services business owner, we’re exploring aligning with trade-training programmes to secure skilled installers.”
- Invite discussion: “Have you ever partnered with a local college/trade school? Good idea or too much hassle?”
