Trimble and SkillsUSA have collaborated to provide industry-leading technology and training to career and technical education students across the U.S. By integrating advanced modeling and geospatial tools into classrooms, trade training programs and state and national competitions, the collaboration aims to help prepare a workforce capable of meeting the demand for more than 450,000 new construction professionals in 2027.
The collaboration focuses on workforce optimization to address the widening skills gap by making professional technology more accessible. Through this initiative, Trimble provides SkillsUSA advisors and instructors with an overview of its technology and multiple options to gain access for its use in the classroom. Student members can also make requests to use its technology for local, state and national competitions.
Additionally, Trimble will donate software subscriptions to SkillsUSA to allow students to gain hands-on experience with the same “ground truth” technology used on modern jobsites.
The company will also sponsor the National Leadership & Skills Conference, supporting competitions in drafting, drone technology and heavy equipment operation. These programs help transition students from classroom learning to high-demand careers by fostering digital fluency early in their professional development.
