Recently, The Home Depot expanded its Path to Pro program to include both English and Spanish versions of its resource library, training, video content and downloadable guides found on PathtoPro.com. The program launched in 2021 to address the growing skilled labor shortage by offering a range of resources, skilled trades training and networking opportunities. But what is the Path to Pro program?
We sat down with Jenna Arca, director of workforce development, The Home Depot, to talk more in depth about this initiative. “Our role and what we do here is create and implement programs to not only attract people to the trades but also to train them to get them prepared for their future in the trades and to help them find jobs with our Pro customers that shop with us every day.”
