Celebrating the First National Careers in Trades Week

This year marks the first official National Careers in Trades Week in the United States—a much-needed opportunity to recognize the essential workers who build our world.

At Morse Manufacturing, our success is built on the skill, pride, and dedication of our tradespeople. From the sparks flying in our welding booths to the careful precision of our machinists and the strength and know-how of our assemblers, every piece of equipment we ship starts in the hands of a skilled worker.

But our team is just one part of a much larger picture.

Manufacturing across the country depends on tradespeople. Whether building components, maintaining machinery, or fabricating the future—these careers are foundational to American industry. And yet, the skilled trades often go overlooked.

That’s why National Careers in Trades Week matters. It shines a spotlight on the rewarding, hands-on careers that fuel innovation and production in every sector—from metal fabrication and automotive to aerospace and agriculture.

Morse proudly supports the growth of the skilled workforce. We believe these careers deserve not only recognition but real investment through training, apprenticeships, and outreach to the next generation.

To all the tradespeople in manufacturing and beyond: thank you for your craftsmanship, your commitment, and your contribution.

Let’s build the future, together.
