Fine Homebuilding has launched the Keep Craft Alive campaign. We’re leveraging all of our resources to bring awareness to the cause. We’ve partnered with industry organizations and a network of building professionals across the country to build awareness of the skills training and educational opportunities that exist in this country, and we’ll be funding student scholarships to support those who want to pursue a path in the trades. Also — and this is perhaps our most challenging and important task — we’ll continue to celebrate the value of true craftsmanship in all trades in order to influence the cultural narrative about what it means to be a respected, successful professional.
