Pittsburg City Councilperson Merl Craft scheduled to attend

The Festool Roadshow, an educational tour promoting the trades and inspiring a new generation of workers, will be hosted by Pittsburg’s own Carey Brothers, stars of the nationally syndicated home improvement radio and multimedia program, “On The House,” on Friday, March 8. This dynamic career development and trade education event will take place from 8 a.m. to noon at the Future Build Teaching Facility, located at 2555 Harbor Street in Pittsburg.

Festool, a premier manufacturer of high-quality power tools, established the Festool Roadshow to visit schools and raise awareness for education and skills development. During the event, the Pittsburg-based Carey Brothers and other well-known industry associations and brands will partner with community youth to inspire them with ways to launch successful careers in trade work such as carpentry, plumbing andconstruction. It will also offer training for educators, students and the general public.

The March 8 event is also scheduled to include a special appearance by Pittsburg City Councilperson Merl Craft, according to city officials.

“Many students in our community will not have the opportunity to obtain a college degree. James and I want to give back to our community with personal motivation to our youth for establishing rewarding career paths,” said Morris Carey of the Carey Brothers. “Once they see all the benefits and good pay that construction jobs offer, our youth will realize they too can have an opportunity for a vocation that will provide a good living. Developing a career is not just important for the individual, it is important for our community.”

According to Morris Carey, 6 million U.S. construction jobs went unfilled in the previous two years, an 80 percent increase from 2016. He said events like the Festool Roadshow are important, not just for student career development but for the local economy as well.
