LONDONDERRY, N.H. 2.9.26 — Following the release of a landmark economic report detailing a $325 billion national workforce gap, Bring Back the Trades Inc. announced today that the upcoming Londonderry, NH Skills Expo is nearing sell-out capacity.
The event, scheduled for April 18, 2026 at the Londonderry High School Gymnasium, has seen an unprecedented surge in registrations from local schools, industry partners, and exhibitors. This momentum follows new research showing that nearly 25% of all key trade jobs—including electricians, plumbers, and carpenters—are projected to be vacant by 2030.
“The response from the New Hampshire community has been incredible,” said Steve Turner, Founder and CEO of Bring Back the Trades. “This sell-out trajectory proves that students, educators, and employers are ready to take action. We aren’t just talking about the trades gap anymore; we are actively building the bridge to solve it.”
