IN 2025, WE CONTINUED TO SIGNIFICANTLY EXPAND OUR WORK ETHIC SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM, PROMOTE WORK ETHIC AND EMPLOYABILITY SKILLS, AND INCREASE OUR EFFORTS TO ELEVATE AND CELEBRATE THE SKILLED TRADES. SINCE 2014, WE HAVE PROVIDED FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO STUDENTS PURSUING CAREERS IN THE SKILLED TRADES THROUGH OUR ANNUAL WORK ETHIC SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM. IN 2025, WE SELECTED 526 SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENTS PURSUING 21 SKILLED TRADES ACROSS 44 STATES, PROVIDING MORE THAN $5.05 MILLION IN FINANCIAL ASSISTANCETHE LARGEST AMOUNT WE'VE AWARDED IN A SINGLE YEAR.

WITH PUBLIC RELATIONS AND ADVOCACY AT THE CORE OF THE MIKEROWEWORKS MISSION, WE CONTINUED TO CREATE AND DISTRIBUTE CONTENT DESIGNED TO ELEVATE THE SKILLED TRADES, CHALLENGE OUTDATED PERCEPTIONS ABOUT SKILLED LABOR, AND HIGHLIGHT THE OPPORTUNITIES AVAILABLE TO PEOPLE WHO PURSUE CAREERS IN ESSENTIAL INDUSTRIES. WE ALSO CONTINUED TO SHARE THE STORIES OF WORK ETHIC SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENTS WHO ARE SUCCEEDING IN CAREERS, LIKE ELECTRICAL WORK, WELDING, AVIATION TECHNOLOGY, DIESEL TECHNOLOGY, AUTOMOTIVE TECHNOLOGY, CONSTRUCTION, PLUMBING, AND OTHER SKILLED TRADES. IN 2025, WE EXPANDED THESE ADVOCACY EFFORTS THROUGH A MULTIMEDIA AWARENESS CAMPAIGN IN THE DALLAS/FORT WORTH AREA. CONDUCTED FROM SEPTEMBER THROUGH NOVEMBER, THE CAMPAIGN WAS DESIGNED TO INCREASE AWARENESS OF THE GROWING SKILLS GAP, HIGHLIGHT THE BENEFITS AND OPPORTUNITIES ASSOCIATED WITH SKILLED-TRADES CAREERS, AND DIRECT AUDIENCES TO ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THESE CAREER PATHS. THE CAMPAIGN USED TELEVISION AND STREAMING VIDEO, DIGITAL AND SOCIAL MEDIA, PAID SEARCH, RADIO AND STREAMING AUDIO, PODCASTS, AND OUTDOOR ADVERTISING. DIGITAL MEDIA ALONE GENERATED NEARLY 6 MILLION IMPRESSIONS, MORE THAN 5.4 MILLION VIDEO VIEWS, AND MORE THAN 48,000 VISITS TO THE CAMPAIGN LANDING PAGE. IN ADDITION TO PUBLIC SUPPORT RAISED THROUGH DONATIONS AND CAMPAIGNS IN SUPPORT OF OUR INITIATIVES, THE FOUNDATION CONTINUED TO PURSUE FUNDRAISING OPPORTUNITIES AND PARTNERSHIPS THAT SUPPORT ITS MISSION AND PROGRAMS.
