JJM Alkaline Technologies, a leading designer and manufacturer of condensate neutralizers, is pleased to partner with Explore The Trades as an Apprentice Level sponsor in 2024. Through this sponsorship, JJM will support Explore The Trades' mission to bridge the technical talent gap in the plumbing, heating, cooling and electrical industries by developing the next generation of the skilled workforce.

"At JJM, we strive to ensure skilled, trained contractors and technicians install and maintain our industry-leading condensate neutralizers and the condensing, gas-fired heating appliances that our products service. These critical tradespeople keep our country running, but they are part of a shrinking workforce." Kyle T. Emmons, president of JJM Alkaline Technologies said. "That's why we are proud to partner with Explore The Trades – we share the same commitment to empowering future trades professionals. Putting trades back in the classroom is a win-win that exposes high school students to careers in the skilled trades and enables the industry to develop its next generation workforce."

Jobs in the trades are in high demand and offer competitive wages, attractive benefits and opportunities for advancement. With support from industry leaders like JJM, Explore The Trades aims to raise awareness with students, educators and parents across the country about the opportunities in the plumbing, heating, cooling, and electrical industries. By providing classroom and on-demand education and career information, Explore The Trades and its partners can help build the skilled workforce of the future.
