Home Depot Foundation's Path to Pro Scholarship

Overview

The Home Depot Foundation works to improve the homes and lives of U.S. veterans, train skilled tradespeople to fill the labor gap and support communities impacted by natural disasters. Since 2011, the Foundation has invested more than $550 million in veteran causes and improved more than 65,000 veteran homes and facilities. The Foundation has pledged to invest $750 million in veteran causes by 2030 and $50 million in training the next generation of skilled tradespeople through the Path to Pro program.
Path to Pro

The Home Depot and The Home Depot Foundation are committed to educating more people in the skilled trades and helping them find careers in the home improvement industry through our Path to Pro program. With nearly 400,000 open roles in the trades nationally, we can’t tackle this work alone. Industry leaders like Home Builders Institute (HBI), Construction Ready, SkillPointe Foundation and Atlanta Technical College (ATC) are helping us prepare skilled people for these opportunities. Since the program’s inception, the Foundation’s trades-focused partnerships have trained more than 44,000 participants and introduced more than 316,000 people to the skilled trades, surpassing its commitment to train 20,000 people six years ahead of schedule.

Additionally, the company has also launched several new initiatives. From geotargeted online resources and entry-level certificates to advanced training, and even a networking platform with the company's Pro customers, people now have even more opportunity to pursue their career journey in trades from start to finish.
