The Department of War announced the launch of the Build Freedom Initiative, giving a $10 million check to the mikeroweWORKS Foundation. The funding will support scholarships that train young Americans in skilled trades such as welding, plumbing and electrical work. The initiative is part of a contract between the War Department’s Industrial Base Analysis and Sustainment program and the Foundation’s workforce development effort. Officials said the program aims to rebuild the defense industrial base by increasing the number of tradespeople who can build and repair ships, aircraft and munitions. The initiative is one of several “arsenal of freedom” efforts aimed at strengthening the nation’s industrial capacity.
