NCCER in the News: Lowe’s Foundation Renews Partnership with NCCER Through Gable Grants Program
The Lowe’s Foundation announced this year’s Gable Grants, serving to strengthen nonprofits on the front lines of a growing skilled trades workforce movement. As part of the grant program, the foundation also announced its renewed partnership with the National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER).
“We listen closely to contractors and know that many candidates don’t have the necessary skills to fill the wide range of open trades positions,” said Janice Dupré, Lowe’s executive vice president of human resources and chair of the Lowe’s Foundation. “Through modern training methods, these nonprofits are unlocking the workforce’s potential while building an economy that rewards skills, not just titles or four-year degrees.”
Since 2023, the Lowe’s Foundation has awarded over $34 million in Gable Grants to help educate and advocate for the next generation of skilled tradespeople.
