[The Real Mike Rowe @mikeroweworks]

If you’re tired of seeing my face in your newsfeed or on the TV, apologies in advance, because it’s about to get a lot worse. By the end of the year, you’re going to be absolutely sick of me, due to America’s ever widening skills gap, and our ongoing attempts to close it with a record number of work ethic scholarships from mikeroweWORKS, and therefor, a record number of invitations to apply.

The situation is serious. Skilled tradespeople are retiring much faster than they’re being replaced. For every 5 that leave the workforce, two come in. The math is not sustainable, and not a week goes by that I don’t hear from some industry leader wondering if I can help with their recruiting challenges. Every trade is in demand like never before. In fact, there’s been so much outreach from so many CEO’s and elected officials, that we’ve doubled the size of our scholarship fund, and extended the application period this year from six weeks to nine months.

Last year, we received 10X the number of applications we normally get, and this year, with the disruption of AI, I suspect the number will be even higher. These are AI-proof, six-figure jobs that don’t require college debt, but instead, training. Thus, I will be cluttering up the media landscape with an onslaught of invitations to apply for scholarships, (like the one attached,) and good-natured appeals to support our efforts with a modest (or immodest) donation.

Toward that end, I’m pleased to announce that the enrollment period is officially open. Funds are now available to help train the next generation of skilled workers. My goal this year is to award $10 million in scholarships, and you’re invited to apply today. Or, if the spirit moves you, to support our efforts with a donation of any size. The donate button is big and red and hard to miss at https://t.co/uolhGspFtN.

If nothing else, please share this, so others can be similarly annoyed with another unsolicited invitation to help us close America's skills gap.

RETWEET if you agree: It’s time for President Biden to pardon cannabis convictions. #CannabisJusticeNOW

“If the Legislature could pass a bill that decriminalizes marijuana, and does so by Nov. 3, we’ll be able to immediately stop the arrests. It doesn’t mean that it would be available for sale. It’s just one aspect that would protect people from arrests.”

[Marijuana Policy Project @MarijuanaPolicy]

Ten years ago, no state had legalized marijuana. Today, a Vice Presidential candidate pledged to decriminalize marijuana and expunge marijuana convictions. Our movement has made a lot of progress but we must continue to fight for sensible and fair marijuana policies.

“Legalization will generate significant job creation, strong growth in GDP, and hundreds of millions in new tax revenues. In the face of the challenge of recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic, legalization offers a path to a stronger recovery.”
