Recently, the Lowe’s Foundation committed $50 million to prepare and train 50,000 men and women for the skilled trades through its Gable Grants program over five years. Betsy Conway, director, Lowe’s Foundation, joined Lowe’s four years ago and is leading the grant charge. Through the Gable Grants program, Conway and the Foundation team are working with educators and community leaders to train in the next generation of skilled workers.
“It's really thrilling because I think this is the time for individuals to get attracted into the industry and to see the benefits that it can create for them and for their families,” said Conway.
