## Resource

Senator Dan Sullivan and Mike Rowe hit the road in Fairbanks to spotlight Alaska’s booming skilled trades boom—where ports, defense, and LNG projects are creating thousands of jobs. With a labor shortage looming, they championed training centers like the Fairbanks Pipeline Training Center as vital engines for workforce readiness. Rowe announced his foundation’s $10 million commitment to trade education, calling these “AI-proof” careers essential for national security and economic resilience. Plus, a major federal policy shift now lets Pell Grants fund trade schools, and Wells Fargo added $250,000 to keep the training center running. It’s a rallying cry: stop undervaluing trades—and start building the future with your hands. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
