Event Description

DEWALT’s new study reveals 90% of U.S. construction pros see AI as indispensable within five years, but only 8% use it now, mainly due to lack of hands-on training. Most rely on self-directed learning, with 87% saying AI education should be in trade schools. DEWALT is launching AI training with ABC Central Florida and donating $75,000 to expand AI programs nationwide. These efforts aim to close the skills gap and make AI accessible, practical, and useful for current and future trades professionals, driving productivity and safety on jobsites.
