Student Chapter - Roxbury High School |
|
|
|
Frank Caccavale and his students from Roxbury High School were recently on an episode of American Plumber Stories. The Series just premiered it's 2nd season and his hosted by Army Veteran and Country Singer, Craig Morgan. This show features plumbers from across the nation with each of them sharing the passion they have for their profession.
As most of you know, half of America's skilled trade employees are nearing retirement age and we need to find start building up our next generation. Though American Plumber Stories focuses on finding the next generation of plumbers by inspiring, educating and entertaining it is a show I believe you all should take a moment to watch. Especially as Season 2 airs and they start to look at the teachers, influencers, and the women who are reshaping the plumbing industry. It is what we need to start doing in all of the trades.
I highly recommend chatting with Frank Caccavale and learning more about what he is doing with his students and how you can be of help to him.
George The Plumber is Frank and his students episode. You can watch it below. |
