  The trades built this country but apprenticeships keep it going.  Happy National Apprenticeship Week. 🙌  Good companies don't just grow, they give back. And one of the most powerful ways to do that is investing in the next generation through apprenticeships. As Tim Johnson puts it: companies that have been blessed with success have a responsibility to share it and to take care of people. This raises the standard of living for those who might not get the opportunity otherwise.  That's exactly what apprenticeships do. At Aspire, we believe the trades matter. The people in them matter. And the future we build together matters. We’re proud to celebrate National Apprentice Week from April 26-May 2, 2026.  Do you have any stories from your apprenticeship days? Let us know. 💬
