Idaho is growing fast and so is the demand for skilled trades. Right now, one of the biggest needs is plumbers.

A recent KTVB story highlights a statewide challenge. There simply are not enough trained workers entering the trades to keep up with demand. That gap is creating real opportunities for students and job seekers across Idaho.

Marcos from the Idaho Division of Career Technical Education shared how CTE programs are part of the solution. Through hands on learning and strong partnerships with industry, students are building skills that lead directly to high demand careers.

Idaho's plumbing workforce can't keep up with the state's growth. Industry leaders and educators worry about what comes next if nothing change.
