Welcome back! This week, Clelland puts the finishing touches on Season 1 of Why The Trades? with very special guest Juva Barber. Juva is the Executive Vice President of the BIA of Greater Louisville, and she is helping to launch a building institute! The Building Institute of Greater Louisville kicks off its first semester on October 17, with the mission of launching careers in the trades. Together, we’ll cover:
Why trades are the industry of opportunity & one of the few fields to be recession-proof.
Why the shortage of tradespeople exists and how leaders like Juva are addressing it.
Juva’s Top 3 Reasons why YOU should choose the trades.
The opportunities The Building Institute of Greater Louisville can offer.


And more!
With that, we will hang up our spurs for the year and begin work on Season 2! We can’t thank our wonderful guests – and our amazing listeners – enough for making this show possible. More episodes (and puns) are coming in 2023.
