On March 26, 2021 Seacoast Security, Inc. of Rockport, launched a scholarship program to help fund further education in the skilled trades. The program offers two $1,000 scholarships to students pursuing a career in the trades at a Maine technical school in the Fall of 2021.
Recognizing the shortage of skilled tradesmen, Seacoast Security is taking proactive steps to encourage more young people to enter these fields and pursue fulfilling careers here in New England. According to The Association of General Construction survey in 2020, 72% of companies surveyed said that worker shortages were one of their biggest challenges. Seacoast Security employs electricians, Journeymen, and other skilled trades positions throughout its eight New England locations.
