Carhartt Women’s gear sales on March 8 to fund scholarships for women in skilled trades
The demand for skilled workers is higher than ever as professionals in the trades retire at a faster rate than younger workers replace them, estimated to leave three million skilled roles unfilled by 2028.1 Despite the widening labor shortage, women only make up roughly 4% of the U.S. skilled workforce2, which is why America’s premium workwear brand, Carhartt, is awarding critical funding to organizations that help light the way for women to explore meaningful careers and increase representation in the trades.
In recognition of International Women’s Day, Carhartt is donating proceeds from women’s apparel sales up to $250,000 on Carhartt.com, Reworked.Carhartt.com and at any one of its 43 retail locations on March 8 – and dedicating its Spring 2024 “For the Love of Labor” grant – to support Metallica's Foundation, All Within My Hands, and its Metallica Scholars Initiative. Created by the members and management of Metallica, All Within My Hands is a philanthropic organization dedicated to creating sustainable communities by connecting future workers with trade programs in their communities.
