Episode 68 – Darnell Epps, Founder & CEO, Thurgood Industries
About this episode
The search for skilled workers continues to challenge many manufacturers as young people pursue college degrees in lieu of the skilled trades. If both paths can offer lucrative careers, how do we attract more students to into skilled trades? In this episode of Manufacturing Matters, TECH B2B Marketing’s Jimmy Carroll and Aaron Hand will speak with Darnell Epps, founder and CEO of Thurgood Industries and a recent contributor to The Washington Post to discuss Epps opinion piece titled “I went to trade school during law school. It left me stunned.” They’ll explore the untapped potential of skilled trades and what the industry can do to reach students and their parents to dispel the myths of skilled labor and encourage these careers.
