Lifting up skilled trades education

Lifting up skilled trades education

The Harbor Freight Leadership Lab brings together leaders from across the nation and K12 skilled trades education ecosystem—including school professionals, executives from industry and labor, and other key stakeholders—to deliver practical tools for career advancement, to forge deeper connections to one another and to elevate the skilled trades sector’s performance, prestige and standing in society.

Helping to make the next generation future-ready

Dynamic

HFLL is a cohort-based learning experience that includes in-person convenings, collaborative online sessions and flexible, independent coursework for participants. Once the cohort year is complete, participants continue to enjoy opportunities to connect and work together virtually and in-person through our HFLL Alumni Network.

Values-driven

HFLL is driven by the belief that all young people should be able to pursue a life of contribution and meaning. Career and technical education must be part of the equation. Too often, however, CTE is stigmatized and underfunded. HFLL is part of a national movement to remedy that.

Impactful

A third-party assessment by Ascending Edge Creative Evaluation found that HFLL has deepened participants’ “enthusiasm for their work,” promoted “out-of-the-box thinking,” “shaped transformational ideas” and “played a vital role” in helping them “navigate the STE landscape, offering valuable advice…and connections to key resources.”

“Participating in the Harbor Freight Leadership Lab was transformative. I had the opportunity to collaborate with passionate leaders from across the country, exchanging ideas, challenging assumptions and exploring innovative ways to elevate skilled trades education. The most powerful outcome was building a network of like-minded changemakers, all committed to ensuring that future generations see the trades as a pathway to purpose and prosperity.”
