Mike Rowe says he is launching ‘Build Freedom’ skilled-trades campaign with the federal government

What was said

"“We just launched a campaign with the federal government to reinvigorate the skilled trades across the country. It's called Build Freedom. And um it is going to feature my foundation and me going to a variety of states to make a more persuasive case for these jobs that are wide open.”"

Mike Rowe says a new campaign called “Build Freedom” has been launched “with the federal government” to promote skilled-trades careers, and that it will feature him and his Mike Rowe Works Foundation travelling to different states. He presents it as a response to a labour-market mismatch, citing millions of open jobs that do not require a four-year degree.
