About the Event

At Stanley Black & Decker, we’ve made it our mission to help close the trade skills gap. That’s why we’re proud to launch the Empower Makers Global Impact Challenge, and commit up to $25 million in grant money over the next five years to fund vocational skills training and reskilling programs in the construction and manufacturing sectors. Together we can help people build what matters.
