21
00:01:02.280 --> 00:01:05.879
<v Speaker 1>Hey, twenty nine fifty five KCD talk station, Bryan Timas,

22
00:01:05.879 --> 00:01:07.840
<v Speaker 1>youre wishing everybody very happy Friday. I hope you had

23
00:01:07.879 --> 00:01:10.359
<v Speaker 1>some plans for the weekend to put a smile on

24
00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:13.640
<v Speaker 1>your face. And let us suggest maybe if you've got

25
00:01:13.680 --> 00:01:16.239
<v Speaker 1>a young person in your home, that maybe they don't

26
00:01:16.280 --> 00:01:18.599
<v Speaker 1>go to college and incurt two hundred thousand dollars in

27
00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:20.760
<v Speaker 1>student loans and come out with a degree in art

28
00:01:20.920 --> 00:01:24.239
<v Speaker 1>or something that there is no employment opportunity there. That's

29
00:01:24.239 --> 00:01:27.959
<v Speaker 1>a foolish exercise. How about a career opportunity rather than

30
00:01:27.959 --> 00:01:30.519
<v Speaker 1>four years in college. How about earning while you learn,

31
00:01:30.719 --> 00:01:33.120
<v Speaker 1>get a job in the trades, and apparently there are

32
00:01:33.120 --> 00:01:36.959
<v Speaker 1>a lot of jobs out there. Welcome Brian Miller. He

33
00:01:37.159 --> 00:01:40.519
<v Speaker 1>is with the Northern Kentucky or sorry, the Building Industry

34
00:01:40.519 --> 00:01:43.640
<v Speaker 1>Association of Northern Kentucky. You can find him online at

35
00:01:43.640 --> 00:01:47.599
<v Speaker 1>builders NKY dot com. Brian, welcome to the program. Good

36
00:01:47.599 --> 00:01:48.400
<v Speaker 1>to have you on today.

37
00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:51.760
<v Speaker 3>More of my friend Howry on this fine Friday.

38
00:01:51.920 --> 00:01:54.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm doing great, and you know I'm a convert for

39
00:01:54.680 --> 00:01:57.599
<v Speaker 1>what you're pushing here, which is a career opportunity in

40
00:01:57.640 --> 00:02:00.719
<v Speaker 1>the trades and the important operative word in that is career.

41
00:02:01.159 --> 00:02:05.079
<v Speaker 1>You can earn a good living in the trades. This

42
00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:07.040
<v Speaker 1>isn't something you know, This isn't like going to work

43
00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:09.560
<v Speaker 1>in the McDonald's. You can actually raise a family and

44
00:02:10.120 --> 00:02:12.000
<v Speaker 1>uh and and and buy a home. Well maybe not

45
00:02:12.039 --> 00:02:15.560
<v Speaker 1>in this housing market, but you can actually afford to

46
00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:18.360
<v Speaker 1>live and enjoy life while working in the trades.

47
00:02:19.840 --> 00:02:22.599
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. This this housing market is another call in I think.

48
00:02:22.719 --> 00:02:25.159
<v Speaker 3>But as far as the trades go, you know, just

49
00:02:25.240 --> 00:02:28.680
<v Speaker 3>it's it's a it's an outstanding opportunity. Unlike so many

50
00:02:28.759 --> 00:02:31.719
<v Speaker 3>decades before. You know, we're seeing a big shift with

51
00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:35.800
<v Speaker 3>this latest generation generation Z. They're really making a press

52
00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:38.840
<v Speaker 3>into the end of the trades. And and they're really

53
00:02:38.919 --> 00:02:41.319
<v Speaker 3>the hands on generation. And you know when they when

54
00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:43.360
<v Speaker 3>they when they look at at the trades, they're talking

55
00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:50.840
<v Speaker 3>about things like coming to electrician, plumber and HVAC installer, carpenters, welders, masons,

56
00:02:50.919 --> 00:02:54.199
<v Speaker 3>people that work on facilities. And we're looking at wages

57
00:02:54.400 --> 00:02:57.280
<v Speaker 3>just straight out of the trade school that are really

58
00:02:57.280 --> 00:03:01.479
<v Speaker 3>getting to the level of about you the mid fifties

59
00:03:01.639 --> 00:03:05.120
<v Speaker 3>all the way up to around ninety thousand dollars. And

60
00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:08.800
<v Speaker 3>if you're talking about taking those skills to the next level.

61
00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:11.479
<v Speaker 3>You know, we can talk about that, but we're really

62
00:03:11.479 --> 00:03:15.159
<v Speaker 3>talking about leveling up in the way of potential income

63
00:03:15.199 --> 00:03:17.199
<v Speaker 3>in a very short amount of time. And so we're

64
00:03:17.240 --> 00:03:20.520
<v Speaker 3>seeing folks that come through the nsy Billion Institute, which

65
00:03:20.520 --> 00:03:22.400
<v Speaker 3>I know that we're here to talk about plus this

66
00:03:22.520 --> 00:03:25.680
<v Speaker 3>Generation Z trend, but you know, we're seeing folks that

67
00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:28.280
<v Speaker 3>are we just get around the interviews as and videos

68
00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:30.759
<v Speaker 3>of some of our students and graduates. We're seeing twenty

69
00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:33.120
<v Speaker 3>two year olds, twenty three year olds buying their first home,

70
00:03:33.199 --> 00:03:37.000
<v Speaker 3>buying their first vehicles, investing in their future wealth and

71
00:03:37.520 --> 00:03:39.639
<v Speaker 3>going back to what the American dream used to look

72
00:03:39.759 --> 00:03:41.240
<v Speaker 3>like for your fifty years ago.

73
00:03:41.639 --> 00:03:45.439
<v Speaker 1>And you know, and doing rewarding work. Brian, I have.

74
00:03:45.719 --> 00:03:47.759
<v Speaker 1>I am a dabbler, you know, jack of all trades,

75
00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:49.960
<v Speaker 1>master of none. But I owned a really old house

76
00:03:50.280 --> 00:03:52.360
<v Speaker 1>when we lived in Oak Park, Illinois, one hundred and

77
00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:54.199
<v Speaker 1>twenty five year old home, and it needed a lot

78
00:03:54.280 --> 00:03:56.240
<v Speaker 1>of work, and my wife and I at the time

79
00:03:56.280 --> 00:03:59.080
<v Speaker 1>didn't have the resources to hire people out to do

80
00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:01.520
<v Speaker 1>all this work. So I learned back then, you go

81
00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:03.039
<v Speaker 1>to the library and you get a book, you figure

82
00:04:03.039 --> 00:04:05.680
<v Speaker 1>out how to do you know, a plaster and lathe

83
00:04:05.719 --> 00:04:08.680
<v Speaker 1>work would work. Actually made some of my own furniture,

84
00:04:08.759 --> 00:04:10.960
<v Speaker 1>teaching myself how to do it. But the nice thing

85
00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:12.360
<v Speaker 1>about it, and the only reason I bring that up,

86
00:04:12.439 --> 00:04:14.800
<v Speaker 1>is because when you walk into a room like the

87
00:04:14.840 --> 00:04:17.319
<v Speaker 1>bathroom that I remodeled, I learned how to lay tile,

88
00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:21.160
<v Speaker 1>you walk in, there's a sense of pride. You created

89
00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:23.920
<v Speaker 1>something that is going to be there and outlast you.

90
00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:25.720
<v Speaker 1>And that's the kind of thing that I've heard from

91
00:04:25.720 --> 00:04:28.560
<v Speaker 1>people in the trades all the time. I hung that

92
00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:32.399
<v Speaker 1>high iron on that skyscraper I helped build, to do

93
00:04:32.480 --> 00:04:35.639
<v Speaker 1>the masonry work on that building. I mean, everywhere you go,

94
00:04:35.720 --> 00:04:39.000
<v Speaker 1>you've got something to show for the work that you've done.

95
00:04:39.399 --> 00:04:41.560
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely. You know, a lot of our instructors are actually

96
00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:45.480
<v Speaker 3>graduated program and they're current trades people, and a lot,

97
00:04:45.560 --> 00:04:48.000
<v Speaker 3>you know, we have information this report were just released

98
00:04:48.040 --> 00:04:50.120
<v Speaker 3>about how they're beginning to age or have been agent

99
00:04:50.279 --> 00:04:53.040
<v Speaker 3>quite some time. And you talk to these folks and

100
00:04:53.839 --> 00:04:56.120
<v Speaker 3>they tell you what the sense of pride and a

101
00:04:56.160 --> 00:04:58.279
<v Speaker 3>little glint of a tier in the corner of their eye,

102
00:04:58.279 --> 00:05:00.879
<v Speaker 3>how they drive pass structures. All the time, I watch

103
00:05:00.959 --> 00:05:03.519
<v Speaker 3>people going to work, watch families kiss the loved ones,

104
00:05:03.560 --> 00:05:05.199
<v Speaker 3>goodbye as they go to work in the morning or

105
00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:07.639
<v Speaker 3>come home in the afternoon and say, I had a

106
00:05:07.680 --> 00:05:10.079
<v Speaker 3>hand in building that I was in that room. I

107
00:05:10.160 --> 00:05:13.199
<v Speaker 3>made that happen. That kid sits at that desk in

108
00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:15.680
<v Speaker 3>their bedroom. You know I installed that trim carp dere

109
00:05:16.199 --> 00:05:19.160
<v Speaker 3>or that that company that's going in and clocking in

110
00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:21.879
<v Speaker 3>every day. If it worn't for me, that structure wasn't

111
00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:23.720
<v Speaker 3>going to end up being there. So yeah, they has

112
00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:27.160
<v Speaker 3>a great sense of pride and a great opportunity. And

113
00:05:27.279 --> 00:05:29.720
<v Speaker 3>you know, on top of that, I don't know if

114
00:05:29.879 --> 00:05:33.879
<v Speaker 3>any other industry in this country where company ownership and

115
00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:36.720
<v Speaker 3>company management has got an open gate the way it

116
00:05:36.759 --> 00:05:38.439
<v Speaker 3>does now in the construction industry.

117
00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:45.079
<v Speaker 1>Excellent point. Entrepreneurial opportunities abound. Now you learn your HVAC

118
00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:49.240
<v Speaker 1>trade work and going through the Endswiler Building Institute, you

119
00:05:49.279 --> 00:05:51.160
<v Speaker 1>can earn while you learn. We'll talk about the details

120
00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:52.399
<v Speaker 1>on this. We'll take a break in a second. You

121
00:05:52.399 --> 00:05:54.160
<v Speaker 1>can break it down a little bit more thoroughly, Brian,

122
00:05:54.199 --> 00:05:58.199
<v Speaker 1>But you can quit wherever you are and start your

123
00:05:58.240 --> 00:06:00.600
<v Speaker 1>own business. Once you got the skills that's needed, you

124
00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:02.639
<v Speaker 1>could become your own employer. And what a great thing

125
00:06:02.639 --> 00:06:04.920
<v Speaker 1>that is. For the entrepreneurally minded kids out there or

126
00:06:04.959 --> 00:06:05.680
<v Speaker 1>folks out there.

127
00:06:06.839 --> 00:06:09.680
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we've got this that they wan't a generation Z.

128
00:06:09.920 --> 00:06:12.560
<v Speaker 3>They are some smart folks. And it's not just the

129
00:06:12.680 --> 00:06:16.399
<v Speaker 3>old trades, you know, just nothing technology laced. The younger

130
00:06:16.399 --> 00:06:18.759
<v Speaker 3>people are really bringing technology on the job site with

131
00:06:18.879 --> 00:06:22.000
<v Speaker 3>them and so this is stuff that AI can't take away.

132
00:06:22.040 --> 00:06:23.600
<v Speaker 3>But you know, we're seeing a lot of gen zs.

133
00:06:23.639 --> 00:06:26.040
<v Speaker 3>They are actually teaming up right out of our school

134
00:06:26.480 --> 00:06:29.000
<v Speaker 3>and they have found out the secret that Hey, if

135
00:06:29.040 --> 00:06:30.879
<v Speaker 3>I really want to do well in this world, and

136
00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:32.759
<v Speaker 3>I really want to provide for my family and for

137
00:06:32.839 --> 00:06:35.360
<v Speaker 3>myself and my loved ones, I can team up with

138
00:06:35.399 --> 00:06:37.480
<v Speaker 3>a group of other trade professionals. We can build up

139
00:06:37.519 --> 00:06:39.839
<v Speaker 3>a company and to a point where it is a

140
00:06:39.920 --> 00:06:42.399
<v Speaker 3>marketable sale, we can sell it. We can go back

141
00:06:42.480 --> 00:06:45.199
<v Speaker 3>and do that again two or three times. And you're

142
00:06:45.240 --> 00:06:47.839
<v Speaker 3>talking about an open paycheck for what the rest of

143
00:06:47.879 --> 00:06:50.480
<v Speaker 3>the world looks like for you. So, you know, just

144
00:06:50.600 --> 00:06:53.240
<v Speaker 3>there's just such a lack of these of these of

145
00:06:53.279 --> 00:06:55.839
<v Speaker 3>these of these companies out there, and we you know,

146
00:06:55.959 --> 00:06:57.639
<v Speaker 3>one of the things that's been driving up the price

147
00:06:57.680 --> 00:07:00.839
<v Speaker 3>of homes is lack of homes. But are the causes

148
00:07:00.839 --> 00:07:03.120
<v Speaker 3>of that as we got the lack of builders aren't

149
00:07:03.160 --> 00:07:05.319
<v Speaker 3>just full builders, but we're talking about people that are

150
00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:07.800
<v Speaker 3>in the trades period. So we have minished our supply

151
00:07:07.879 --> 00:07:10.480
<v Speaker 3>of trades people to a point where that demand curve

152
00:07:10.480 --> 00:07:13.240
<v Speaker 3>has gone up so high that the wages are spiking,

153
00:07:13.839 --> 00:07:17.120
<v Speaker 3>and it's just an amazing opportunity for folks. It just

154
00:07:17.160 --> 00:07:19.040
<v Speaker 3>the last five years and the trades that we teach it.

155
00:07:19.079 --> 00:07:20.600
<v Speaker 3>We'll get into here in a little bit, but we're

156
00:07:20.639 --> 00:07:23.800
<v Speaker 3>looking at somewhere between its sixteen up to around a

157
00:07:23.879 --> 00:07:26.600
<v Speaker 3>twenty seven percent increase in the last five years, and

158
00:07:26.639 --> 00:07:29.720
<v Speaker 3>just these wages alone. So you know, a plumber back

159
00:07:29.759 --> 00:07:32.879
<v Speaker 3>about you know, five years ago, eight years ago that

160
00:07:33.000 --> 00:07:35.560
<v Speaker 3>was making fifty to fifty one thousand dollars, they're getting

161
00:07:35.560 --> 00:07:37.240
<v Speaker 3>close to seventy thousand dollars now.

162
00:07:37.720 --> 00:07:39.000
<v Speaker 1>Career opportunity.

163
00:07:39.240 --> 00:07:39.480
<v Speaker 3>Pause.

164
00:07:39.519 --> 00:07:41.279
<v Speaker 1>We'll pause, will bring Brian Miller back to talk a

165
00:07:41.319 --> 00:07:45.000
<v Speaker 1>little bit more about the ends while or building institute.

166
00:07:45.319 --> 00:07:49.120
<v Speaker 1>But something I'm more I'm more excited about and really

167
00:07:49.199 --> 00:07:52.319
<v Speaker 1>think is just a really cool thing is the Covington

00:09:14.559 --> 00:09:16.720
<v Speaker 1>and career opportunities in the trades. Real quick, Brian, before

197
00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:19.440
<v Speaker 1>we dive on into the Enswaller Institute and the other

198
00:09:19.519 --> 00:09:22.519
<v Speaker 1>thing that I'm interested in, the Covington Academy of Heritage Trades.

199
00:09:22.840 --> 00:09:24.039
<v Speaker 1>I just want to let you know one of my

200
00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:27.600
<v Speaker 1>regular listeners, jeff he's in the machine tool business, owns

201
00:09:27.600 --> 00:09:31.000
<v Speaker 1>his own business, Mark Contool. Shout out to the boys

202
00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:35.399
<v Speaker 1>of Markcontool. Jeffrey says, thanks for plugging the trades again today.

203
00:09:35.480 --> 00:09:38.799
<v Speaker 1>We need all the help we can get. Serious opportunities

204
00:09:38.840 --> 00:09:40.440
<v Speaker 1>are waiting for those that are willing to get their

205
00:09:40.440 --> 00:09:43.039
<v Speaker 1>hands a little dirty. So there's one guy in the

206
00:09:43.080 --> 00:09:45.320
<v Speaker 1>business out there doubling down on what you're saying, Brian.

207
00:09:45.399 --> 00:09:47.519
<v Speaker 1>There are lots of jobs out there, and some really

208
00:09:47.519 --> 00:09:49.960
<v Speaker 1>good paying ones. So let's pivot over. So if you

209
00:09:50.039 --> 00:09:56.440
<v Speaker 1>go to the builders nkys dot com site, you'll see

210
00:09:56.480 --> 00:09:59.200
<v Speaker 1>a link to the Endswiler Building Institute, So let's start

211
00:09:59.240 --> 00:10:01.759
<v Speaker 1>there and with that program involves and I see you

212
00:10:01.799 --> 00:10:04.679
<v Speaker 1>have opportunities for high school students as well.

213
00:10:06.320 --> 00:10:09.639
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we do, and in Kentucky we've been expanding those.

214
00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:12.759
<v Speaker 3>So the last two years we've had wonderful support by

215
00:10:12.799 --> 00:10:15.639
<v Speaker 3>some legislators in our market, like this last session with

216
00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:19.320
<v Speaker 3>Representative Kim Banta in the session before that with Senator

217
00:10:19.360 --> 00:10:24.360
<v Speaker 3>Shelley Funky Promyer, a wonderful leaders. You know, we've been

218
00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:26.559
<v Speaker 3>able to pass some bills which has been taking this

219
00:10:26.720 --> 00:10:29.039
<v Speaker 3>dual credit concept that the part of the education has

220
00:10:29.080 --> 00:10:32.200
<v Speaker 3>had for quite some time and shifting it over to

221
00:10:32.279 --> 00:10:35.679
<v Speaker 3>the construction trade. So we are currently working with public

222
00:10:35.720 --> 00:10:38.559
<v Speaker 3>schools and area technology centers and hopes to be able

223
00:10:38.559 --> 00:10:42.480
<v Speaker 3>to solidify curriculum alignment where people that graduate from high

224
00:10:42.519 --> 00:10:45.360
<v Speaker 3>school that are in these vocational programs are able to

225
00:10:45.399 --> 00:10:47.679
<v Speaker 3>achieve dual credit and to our proprietary school, the ins

226
00:10:47.799 --> 00:10:50.840
<v Speaker 3>our Ability Institute, and you get into the trade and

227
00:10:50.879 --> 00:10:53.440
<v Speaker 3>get into a license trade even that much faster, so

228
00:10:53.799 --> 00:10:57.159
<v Speaker 3>we already accelerate your career advancement as a recognized education

229
00:10:57.240 --> 00:11:00.320
<v Speaker 3>provider with state government and the licensed trades will electric

230
00:11:00.720 --> 00:11:03.720
<v Speaker 3>HVAC and plumbing. But this next step we'll be able

231
00:11:03.720 --> 00:11:06.720
<v Speaker 3>to shave off another year. And what we've also been

232
00:11:06.720 --> 00:11:08.879
<v Speaker 3>able to do is that on the job training hours

233
00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:10.960
<v Speaker 3>you can now achieve those in high school too, So

234
00:11:11.399 --> 00:11:13.320
<v Speaker 3>quite frankly, by the time that you come to our

235
00:11:13.320 --> 00:11:16.039
<v Speaker 3>program in the license trades, you could be one year

236
00:11:16.080 --> 00:11:19.159
<v Speaker 3>away from your licensure, which means an advancement of about

237
00:11:19.200 --> 00:11:22.159
<v Speaker 3>twenty to thirty thousand dollars in your trades alone. And

238
00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:23.919
<v Speaker 3>on the back end of that, we are going to

239
00:11:23.960 --> 00:11:28.120
<v Speaker 3>start some value added classes because we know because college

240
00:11:28.200 --> 00:11:30.759
<v Speaker 3>isn't right for everybody, but you can still pick up

241
00:11:30.799 --> 00:11:32.720
<v Speaker 3>the skills that you can learn in college without all

242
00:11:32.799 --> 00:11:37.399
<v Speaker 3>the electives. We will be providing some classes in estimating

243
00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:39.879
<v Speaker 3>and project management. You want to talk about a level up.

244
00:11:39.919 --> 00:11:42.840
<v Speaker 3>We talked about twenty to thirty thousand dollars increase in

245
00:11:42.879 --> 00:11:45.440
<v Speaker 3>these trades just to get your license in those three

246
00:11:45.480 --> 00:11:48.840
<v Speaker 3>trades alone, But if you're looking at becoming an estimator

247
00:11:48.960 --> 00:11:53.120
<v Speaker 3>in the field, electrician can increase their pay by twenty

248
00:11:53.159 --> 00:11:56.440
<v Speaker 3>to forty percent just by becoming an estimator, and if

249
00:11:56.440 --> 00:11:59.360
<v Speaker 3>you've become a project manager, they can increase their pay

250
00:11:59.399 --> 00:12:02.559
<v Speaker 3>from thirty percent to seventy percent. So we're talking about

251
00:12:02.720 --> 00:12:05.879
<v Speaker 3>coming out with the license and the electric trades just

252
00:12:06.039 --> 00:12:09.360
<v Speaker 3>under sixty thousand dollars. But if you get into project management,

253
00:12:09.399 --> 00:12:12.559
<v Speaker 3>you're talking somewhere between seventy to one hundred and twenty

254
00:12:12.639 --> 00:12:15.200
<v Speaker 3>thousand dollars. If you can run a crew and run

255
00:12:15.720 --> 00:12:17.120
<v Speaker 3>into our project.

256
00:12:17.080 --> 00:12:21.200
<v Speaker 1>Not too shabby. Wow blows the mind, it really does.

257
00:12:21.240 --> 00:12:21.480
<v Speaker 3>Wow.

258
00:12:21.639 --> 00:12:24.480
<v Speaker 1>Now, let's use a hypothetical here. Let's say you're you know,

259
00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:27.039
<v Speaker 1>you're in your forties and you're tired of being the

260
00:12:27.080 --> 00:12:29.360
<v Speaker 1>producer for the fifty five carsy morning show. Is it

261
00:12:29.399 --> 00:12:32.879
<v Speaker 1>too late for someone mid career life to maybe turn

262
00:12:32.960 --> 00:12:35.519
<v Speaker 1>to the trades and learn this as a career opportunity

263
00:12:35.600 --> 00:12:38.159
<v Speaker 1>or is it sort of designed to focus mostly on

264
00:12:38.200 --> 00:12:39.240
<v Speaker 1>the on the younger people.

265
00:12:40.440 --> 00:12:43.240
<v Speaker 3>Now? Absolutely not. Our average age of our of our

266
00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:46.200
<v Speaker 3>adult enroll is about twenty four years old, and we're

267
00:12:46.200 --> 00:12:48.320
<v Speaker 3>trying to make that younger. But we do have several

268
00:12:48.399 --> 00:12:51.080
<v Speaker 3>people that are in career transitions, so they, you know,

269
00:12:51.480 --> 00:12:53.960
<v Speaker 3>they've been the workaday world. They're like, I'm burned out

270
00:12:54.000 --> 00:12:55.840
<v Speaker 3>by this. There's a lot of pressures. And then we

271
00:12:55.879 --> 00:12:58.600
<v Speaker 3>see artificial intelligence making its inter roads in the white

272
00:12:58.600 --> 00:13:03.759
<v Speaker 3>collar community folks that are choosing the trades because artificial

273
00:13:03.960 --> 00:13:06.000
<v Speaker 3>intelligence can't fix your plumbing at two.

274
00:13:05.840 --> 00:13:09.480
<v Speaker 1>O'clock in the morning, No it can't. They actually did

275
00:13:09.519 --> 00:13:13.519
<v Speaker 1>a South Park episode on that. It's fantastic, all right, Brian,

276
00:13:13.600 --> 00:13:16.200
<v Speaker 1>Let's okay. So that's the ends Wild Billding Institute. All

277
00:13:16.200 --> 00:13:21.440
<v Speaker 1>the information there again at the website builders nky dot com.

278
00:13:21.679 --> 00:13:23.519
<v Speaker 1>Let's pivot over to something that's near and dear in

279
00:13:23.559 --> 00:13:26.639
<v Speaker 1>my heart. This is the Covington Academy of Heritage Trade. Now,

280
00:13:26.840 --> 00:13:28.720
<v Speaker 1>I mentioned before we had one hundred and twenty five

281
00:13:28.799 --> 00:13:32.639
<v Speaker 1>year old home. But I have always been interested in architecture,

282
00:13:32.639 --> 00:13:37.360
<v Speaker 1>and I have a profound appreciation for the skill and

283
00:13:37.399 --> 00:13:41.480
<v Speaker 1>the and the the just the absolute amazing ability of

284
00:13:41.840 --> 00:13:44.679
<v Speaker 1>old school craftsmen, what they were able to accomplish by

285
00:13:44.720 --> 00:13:47.799
<v Speaker 1>way of woodwork and these historic homes. It's just to me,

286
00:13:47.879 --> 00:13:52.360
<v Speaker 1>it's awe inspiring. That's as a trade that still exists

287
00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:54.559
<v Speaker 1>through your Comington Academy of Heritage Trades.

288
00:13:56.080 --> 00:13:58.799
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely, this is one of only a handful of opportunities

289
00:13:58.840 --> 00:14:01.240
<v Speaker 3>like this in the entire country. And this is a

290
00:14:01.279 --> 00:14:05.000
<v Speaker 3>wonderful project. It's a partnership, it's a public private partnership

291
00:14:05.000 --> 00:14:08.919
<v Speaker 3>of the City of Covington. We also receive support for

292
00:14:09.120 --> 00:14:12.919
<v Speaker 3>all of our trades, including the main Aswild Building Institute,

293
00:14:14.000 --> 00:14:18.480
<v Speaker 3>the Kenton County government, several other resources, state government support.

294
00:14:18.679 --> 00:14:20.879
<v Speaker 3>There's a lot of industry professionals that help us out.

295
00:14:21.159 --> 00:14:24.200
<v Speaker 3>But getting into this, coming to thecavity of heritage trades,

296
00:14:24.559 --> 00:14:29.000
<v Speaker 3>the City of Covington engaged a group called Place Economics

297
00:14:29.039 --> 00:14:32.519
<v Speaker 3>and they did a study in northern Kentucky, specifically in

298
00:14:32.519 --> 00:14:36.159
<v Speaker 3>the Covington area, our largest municipality, as to what is

299
00:14:36.200 --> 00:14:40.120
<v Speaker 3>the state of historic architecture in the area, also just

300
00:14:40.240 --> 00:14:45.200
<v Speaker 3>an inventory of older homes, what condition they're in, what

301
00:14:45.279 --> 00:14:47.720
<v Speaker 3>are the major components in need of work, and so

302
00:14:47.799 --> 00:14:50.679
<v Speaker 3>what we're looking to do as a partnership is to

303
00:14:50.799 --> 00:14:55.639
<v Speaker 3>raise up this aging urban core infrastructure to be able

304
00:14:55.639 --> 00:14:59.240
<v Speaker 3>to provide a quality housing for folks. Now, the study

305
00:14:59.279 --> 00:15:02.559
<v Speaker 3>that was done by Economics also found out that if

306
00:15:02.559 --> 00:15:05.200
<v Speaker 3>you are a trades person out there, if you work

307
00:15:05.200 --> 00:15:07.720
<v Speaker 3>in the historic trades, you're looking to increase your pay

308
00:15:07.759 --> 00:15:10.240
<v Speaker 3>by about nine percent. So there is a little bit

309
00:15:10.240 --> 00:15:12.639
<v Speaker 3>of a level up there with regards to getting into

310
00:15:12.639 --> 00:15:15.679
<v Speaker 3>this field. Now, it's a different field, right, so it's

311
00:15:15.720 --> 00:15:17.600
<v Speaker 3>not looking at a set of blue prints and building

312
00:15:17.639 --> 00:15:19.879
<v Speaker 3>something from the ground up. You have to be a specialist,

313
00:15:19.879 --> 00:15:21.720
<v Speaker 3>and that's what this Academy is here to teach you

314
00:15:21.759 --> 00:15:24.840
<v Speaker 3>to do, is to break down the barriers from somebody

315
00:15:24.840 --> 00:15:27.279
<v Speaker 3>that works on the brand new build Greenshield environment to

316
00:15:27.279 --> 00:15:30.559
<v Speaker 3>be able to transition over to the historic environment to

317
00:15:30.639 --> 00:15:32.639
<v Speaker 3>understand it. Okay, if I'm going to get into that wall,

318
00:15:32.799 --> 00:15:37.360
<v Speaker 3>what's behind it? For so ultimately that's really where the

319
00:15:37.360 --> 00:15:39.759
<v Speaker 3>stumbling blocks are. And if we can help take those

320
00:15:40.080 --> 00:15:43.200
<v Speaker 3>blocks out of the wall to transition people over to

321
00:15:43.240 --> 00:15:46.440
<v Speaker 3>the historic trades, it's a profession. That's ultimately what the

322
00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:48.919
<v Speaker 3>goal of the Academy is. So we can do that,

323
00:15:49.039 --> 00:15:51.320
<v Speaker 3>we can build up the community. We can make sure

324
00:15:51.360 --> 00:15:53.200
<v Speaker 3>that the urban core is just as healthy as a

325
00:15:53.240 --> 00:16:00.759
<v Speaker 3>housing market as the new built suburban environment and serves

326
00:16:00.799 --> 00:16:03.639
<v Speaker 3>because you know, every home is every home matters, and

327
00:16:03.679 --> 00:16:05.759
<v Speaker 3>so yeah, everybody has to have a place in this,

328
00:16:05.919 --> 00:16:08.360
<v Speaker 3>in this, in this, in this, in this world, and

329
00:16:08.639 --> 00:16:12.120
<v Speaker 3>all markets, especially throughout Greater Cincinnati and of course in

330
00:16:12.200 --> 00:16:14.399
<v Speaker 3>our corner of the world here in Northern Kentucky need

331
00:16:14.440 --> 00:16:16.919
<v Speaker 3>to have a vibrant housing market in every pocket and

332
00:16:16.960 --> 00:16:20.399
<v Speaker 3>in every corner. So that everybody and every income on

333
00:16:20.519 --> 00:16:22.200
<v Speaker 3>strata can have a place to call home.

334
00:16:22.559 --> 00:16:25.159
<v Speaker 1>Well, and from my perspective, Brian, they don't build them

335
00:16:25.200 --> 00:16:27.279
<v Speaker 1>like they used to, and I mean they built them

336
00:16:27.320 --> 00:16:30.720
<v Speaker 1>in the old days like they over built. I mean

337
00:16:32.000 --> 00:16:34.480
<v Speaker 1>a know, soft two by fours in the walls of

338
00:16:34.559 --> 00:16:37.559
<v Speaker 1>some of these older homes. But the program the coming

339
00:16:37.600 --> 00:16:40.679
<v Speaker 1>to the academy trades. I'm looking at the list box cutters,

340
00:16:40.879 --> 00:16:45.639
<v Speaker 1>historic masonry, historic carpentry work, plaster work which I mentioned before.

341
00:16:45.679 --> 00:16:48.000
<v Speaker 1>It ain't drywall you're dealing with. It's plaster and lay

342
00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:52.360
<v Speaker 1>than these historic homes. Historic painting work, stained in decorative glass,

343
00:16:52.879 --> 00:16:56.360
<v Speaker 1>historic window restoration, weatherization along with wood floors. So those

344
00:16:56.399 --> 00:16:58.879
<v Speaker 1>are the types of trades you learned old school methods

345
00:16:58.919 --> 00:17:02.080
<v Speaker 1>which keeps the historic quality of the building going. I mean,

346
00:17:02.120 --> 00:17:04.440
<v Speaker 1>then I imagine some of them. You suppose you could

347
00:17:04.440 --> 00:17:07.279
<v Speaker 1>have a historic designated building, you have to comply with

348
00:17:07.359 --> 00:17:10.759
<v Speaker 1>the original historic designs absolutely.

349
00:17:10.839 --> 00:17:13.599
<v Speaker 3>I mean Covenson has several different historic overlay districts which

350
00:17:13.640 --> 00:17:17.400
<v Speaker 3>are all unique to their subcommunities. So like Pieselberg, all

351
00:17:17.400 --> 00:17:20.000
<v Speaker 3>these you know, mainstrews, all these different areas have all

352
00:17:20.079 --> 00:17:22.119
<v Speaker 3>got their own characters years ago. The world was a

353
00:17:22.160 --> 00:17:24.720
<v Speaker 3>lot smaller. We didn't get around that much and so

354
00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:28.359
<v Speaker 3>you really have to learn how to conform to that

355
00:17:28.599 --> 00:17:32.319
<v Speaker 3>historic code either you're in a historic zone or under

356
00:17:32.319 --> 00:17:35.720
<v Speaker 3>a historic overlay, and you know, just an opportunity for

357
00:17:35.759 --> 00:17:37.920
<v Speaker 3>you to not only you know, become a trade professional

358
00:17:38.039 --> 00:17:39.960
<v Speaker 3>also increase your own home too. It just because it's

359
00:17:39.960 --> 00:17:42.400
<v Speaker 3>called the Company Academy of Peri's Trades and not just

360
00:17:42.519 --> 00:17:44.839
<v Speaker 3>open for the people that are inside the city of Kevington.

361
00:17:45.160 --> 00:17:47.680
<v Speaker 3>We have folks from OTR all over the region that

362
00:17:47.759 --> 00:17:50.720
<v Speaker 3>we love historic homes that are able to come out

363
00:17:50.759 --> 00:17:53.680
<v Speaker 3>and benefit from these courses. So they run basically in

364
00:17:53.759 --> 00:17:56.359
<v Speaker 3>a series of shops all year long. And if you

365
00:17:56.400 --> 00:17:59.119
<v Speaker 3>want to find more information about that, that standalone website

366
00:17:59.200 --> 00:18:02.480
<v Speaker 3>is Pritage Trade at Academy dot com. And to back up,

367
00:18:02.599 --> 00:18:06.880
<v Speaker 3>that standalone website for the institute is Building Institute dot com.

368
00:18:06.920 --> 00:18:09.519
<v Speaker 3>So we've got some great premier URLs out there that

369
00:18:09.559 --> 00:18:11.720
<v Speaker 3>people can go check out. We've got a lot of

370
00:18:11.799 --> 00:18:15.359
<v Speaker 3>data on there too, and this report we've recently released

371
00:18:15.519 --> 00:18:18.039
<v Speaker 3>can also show you know, not just that nine percent

372
00:18:18.160 --> 00:18:21.160
<v Speaker 3>uplift with a director working on historic structures, but if

373
00:18:21.200 --> 00:18:23.200
<v Speaker 3>you want to take things to the next level, really

374
00:18:23.319 --> 00:18:27.039
<v Speaker 3>driving your potential earning income will into the six figures.

375
00:18:27.319 --> 00:18:30.039
<v Speaker 1>That's just a wonderful thing to hear. No college education,

376
00:18:30.319 --> 00:18:32.720
<v Speaker 1>no leaving with hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt

377
00:18:32.839 --> 00:18:35.480
<v Speaker 1>and a class you had to sit through like music

378
00:18:35.559 --> 00:18:41.039
<v Speaker 1>appreciation to get your degree. Brian Miller, keep Joe's trekers.

379
00:18:41.279 --> 00:18:44.559
<v Speaker 1>What was that number again? I told just Trekker. Every

380
00:18:44.559 --> 00:18:47.599
<v Speaker 1>time an opportunity like this comes on, Joe's got one

381
00:18:47.680 --> 00:18:50.920
<v Speaker 1>foot out the door. Brian, Well, keep up the great work.

382
00:18:50.920 --> 00:18:52.920
<v Speaker 1>I'll encourage my listeners go to my blog page fifty

383
00:18:52.920 --> 00:18:54.480
<v Speaker 1>five KC dot com or they'll be able to hear

384
00:18:54.480 --> 00:18:57.000
<v Speaker 1>this conversation. But also get the links that you mentioned

385
00:18:57.400 --> 00:18:59.799
<v Speaker 1>and pursue a career. And if you're you have a

386
00:18:59.799 --> 00:19:03.079
<v Speaker 1>young person in your world, steer them in this direction.

387
00:19:03.160 --> 00:19:05.319
<v Speaker 1>I think they'll be very happy that they pursued the

388
00:19:05.839 --> 00:19:08.440
<v Speaker 1>trades as opposed to a college education. Brian, keep up

389
00:19:08.480 --> 00:19:10.680
<v Speaker 1>the great work. You can feel free to join the

390

<v Speaker 3>tub before he had done over.

00:19:21.000 --> 00:19:23.839
<v Speaker 1>I would but he already left the building. Thanks Brian.
