Mister G I'd, like to address what I experienced just four or five days ago I was honored to be the commencement address at Cumberland Valley Christian School in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania where I saw brilliant young men and women some going to Big 10 schools like I attended some going into the military and one courageous young man who is going into the C career This was announced and after Enjoying my presentation I acknowledged him how important these people are for our workforce development for obtaining careers with jobs that have families sustaining wages We need to elevate these people That's what we see and That's what we hear from you Mister G I would like you to address how we as members of small business Committee how we can continue to elevate the course and encourage those individuals who look to enter into careers such as AC R Thank you very much At the time Jesus I really appreciate the comments and I'm glad you had that experience. that individual is going to have a great career and we'll probably be in leadership or maybe even ownership at some point in time. That's the way our industry works which is fantastic awareness is probably still the biggest issue we have Don't take this self serving the police spread our documentary far and wide I think that is a medium that will be readily consumed by the new workforce. I think it will be attractive to them and will open a lot of their eyes secondly we are happy to give you the list of the multiple member locations in all of your districts and I encourage you or your staff to get out there and visit them and get to know the workers and their backgrounds because I think Get a hundred times the stories of what you just experienced with that that young individual So engagement and awareness are the biggest things I think the Committee can really help with and then helping us understand what are the roots of some of these biases again? I I don't know the root of it but I do know having young kids that it is not encouraged through most of your scholastic career to even consider the trades and even though I know for a fact what a great career it is right and then representing wholesale Borders no one knows what distribution is right, so That's the That's, even more hidden industry so again, any help from the small business Committee in terms of awareness in terms of getting to the root of these biases against some of these skilled trades I think can go a long way and create a lot more incredible careers for a lot of young individuals
