Ford partners with Carhartt to launch a tool bank and a Super Duty

“The ability to attract the next generation of technicians is a goal for both companies… Ford Philanthropy and Ford dealers’ partnerships with TechForce Foundation will support training, tools, credentialing fees, and transportation needs.”

Ford needs more mechanics. It’s hoping free Carhartts and tools will boost applicants.

“Ford Philanthropy has been offering $5,000 scholarships to trade-school-level technicians through TechForce Foundation… now paired with tools, transportation, and Carhartt workwear.”

Carhartt CEO says they always focused on blue-collar workers—but hipsters came anyway: ‘We welcome anyone … that wants to celebrate hard work’

“For a teenager unsure about college or a college student staring down debt, the key is both inspiration and practical support… Ford works through partners like TechForce Foundation to provide scholarships, wraparound support, and even basics like tools and transportation.”
