We are honored to have been the only company to have a seat at the table as a member of the USDA Equity Commission. Led by our Senior Vice President of ISC (Inclusion, Sustainability and Community) and current USDA Equity Commission member, Todd Corley, we had the distinct honor of co-hosting the “Power of Partnerships”, the first in a series of regional rollouts starting with the Midwest. The event focused on sharing the results of the commission’s recent Equity Report and discussing the next generation of farming, ownership, sustainable agriculture, food security, and food sovereignty to benefit the future of all hardworking people.

This #SkilledTradesDay we're highlighting our partnership with Metallica's Foundation, All Within My Hands Foundation (Metallica). With the support of our For The Love of Labor grant program, Metallica scholars like Dijon are able to get the training they need to find fulfilling careers in the skilled trades and provide for their families. Dijon Holmes got his start in the construction industry after taking a short-term training class at Valencia College back in 2016. This year, Dijon returned to Valencia’s Accelerated Skills Training program to study welding. And thanks to Valencia’s partnership with Metallica’s Foundation, All Within My Hands, Dijon’s dream of becoming a welder is near. He’s now completing the college’s five-month Welding 2 program and is looking forward to blazing a new trail. “I value the sense of security that welders have,” says Dijon. “You never have to worry about a job.” He also wants to provide for his two-year-old daughter. “For her sake, I want to be financially secure.”

ADWEEK's Robert Klara explains how a hard-wearing industrial brand lures laborers, rappers and fashionistas alike. "It’s rare for any brand to draw as many rebels, rappers and street kids as it does hunters, miners and farmers. That Carhartt’s done it is down to more than being an unlikely fashion statement. Unapologetically functional, Carhartt duds are also nearly indestructible—just as they were designed to be," he writes.
