The Hands That Built This
0 - Default Title
Description
The Hands That Built This is a compact, urgent memoir-manifesto by K.A. Pierce-14 years as a carpenter and ironworker and nearly two decades as a construction-safety professional-that argues trades must be first-choice careers, not Plan B.
Through vivid job site scenes, program case studies, and practical policy steps, Pierce demonstrates how apprenticeships, earn-while-you-learn models, mentorship for women, and safety-first training can address labor shortages, mitigate costly failures, and provide stable, debt-free lives.
Concise, actionable, and voice-driven, this book provides parents, educators, contractors, and policymakers with a clear roadmap to rebuild the skilled trades and the communities they sustain.
