Kitchen & Bath Business - January 2021 - 36
INDUSTRY OUTLOOK
" With the new administration and a
focus on organized labor, we need
to remember pre-apprenticeship
is a very wide and diverse
category. We need to work with
congressional leaders to approach
trades training with this in mind. "
ED BRADY, HBI
" With the new administration and a focus on
organized labor, we need to remember pre-apprenticeship is a very wide and diverse category, "
continued Brady. " We need to work with congressional leaders to approach trades training with
this in mind. "
According to Darcy, the NKBA recently successfully piloted a virtual version of its Career
Tours - Career Test Drive Kits - which are flexible, online simulations that offer students an interactive experience focused on the profession of
K&B designer, finish carpenter and electrician,
while maintaining a hands-on model.
" We hope to continue this program in 2021, "
he added. " We have also strengthened our connections to online communities such as Hammr
to help tell our story through our NextUp social
media channels targeting kids and parents. "
King says NARI chapters are working on this
across the country with different groups to attract
youths to the trades. In Pinellas County, Fla., the
school board is applying for a grant from the federal government that will
bolster the high schools that have a more robust construction program.
" The grant will enable companies to hire teenagers as interns and teach
them the remodeling business, " he explained. " NARI is also involved with
Skills USA at the corporate level, and we have many chapter member volunteers who are active in various workforce development initiatives with
local school districts in areas that include Milwaukee, Richmond, Va., D.C.,
Kansas City, Mo., Madison, Wis., and Omaha, Neb. - among many others.
According to Dietz, our industry has not been successful at recruiting
women for construction work. He says 3% of the construction labor force is
made up of women.
" Much of this is due to historic and cultural trends in the industry, " he
added, " but given the focus on solving the skilled labor shortage across trade
groups and organizations like HBI, efforts are underway to bring in new
workers from all backgrounds. "
Outside of the obvious bombshell of the 2020 pandemic, our industry
came across a few other surprises. King said he and his team became very busy
after the slowdown in February and March. He didn't realize they would have
such a hard time obtaining permits and materials, therefore completing projects within the original scheduled time frame has become nearly impossible.
Brady has been challenged by the need for blended learning, with HBI's
curriculum at 75% hands on.
" Today's training is a hybrid of online and distance learning with handson assessments, " he added. " We truly believe we train better students with
a hands-on approach, and when we as an industry come back from this
pandemic, we have to emphasize this. "
Design Trends Borne out of a Pandemic
" The shutdown mandates and the uncertainty surrounding a
resurgence of COVID despite the hope of a vaccine has changed
working and living habits not only in America but throughout the
world. These things have caused many consumers to modify not
only their habits but also their homes to make them more amenable
to work. " - GUTIERREZ, NKBA
" There are opportunities out there for designers and remodelers to
help clients make their existing homes more efficient. Reorganization
will be another opportunity in 2021. " - DIETZ, NAHB
" Unlike 2020, during which bathroom makeovers and remodels
were most popular, 2021 remodel spending growth will be led by
the kitchen, which has gained further prominence as the true heart
and hub of the home as a result of the pandemic. " - DARCY, NKBA
36
" People are finicky, so you never know what the next trend will be,
but they will need more room to spread out inside their homes
and will pay more attention to their outdoor spaces since they are
spending less time in public. " - KING, NARI
" COVID-19 has encouraged our at-home cooking skills - both
indoor and outdoor - as a substitute for entertaining friends and
family and going out for a night on the town. Voice-activated faucets,
camera-enhanced appliances and non-porous countertops have
updated the traditional tasks of cooking, cleaning and storing by
incorporating thoughtful innovation into home products. Interior
design brands are further stretching to support homeowner lifestyles
by incorporating germ-free, low-maintenance features while
maintaining aesthetically pleasing designs for 2021. " - KELLY, ASID
