For the fourth year now, the teams at BlueVolt and OpenSesame are making Warming Kits for the homeless and needy in the Portland area.

Working together, we purchase the socks, hats and gloves for the kits at local retailers and collect items donated from the other businesses here in the Business Accelerator building that are joining in to help.

We’re very excited to announce that we recently awarded a pair of University of Oregon football tickets for our Oregon September Sweepstakes. October 1^st was the deadline for thousands of Oregon electricians to complete their continuing education and renew their electrical license. Any learner who completed a BlueVolt online continuing education course for Oregon during the month of September was entered to win a pair of Oregon football tickets.

Our lucky first place winner was Josh Walker, of Estacada, Ore. who took the Oregon Grounding and Bonding course to complete his continuing education requirements. Josh will be happily attending the Oregon v. Stanford game this fall. “That's awesome, thank you” he said.

Last week, we wrote about National Tradesmen Day, which shed some much-needed light on the fact that our skilled tradesmen and women rarely get the recognition they deserve for keeping this country running smoothly.

There’s another issue concerning the skilled trades workforce that affects us all. We’re talking about the shortage of young people to step up and fill the jobs of our skilled tradesmen as they retire.

Last month, we celebrated the people we count on everyday: Tradesmen. You may know them as the guys (and gals) who fix your phone line when it’s down, help you remodel your home or install carpet, or they’re the ones in hard hats down at the construction site.

At BlueVolt, we know them as hard-working electricians, HVAC contractors, plumbers, construction workers and more. And we’ve been listening to them since we started our business 10 years ago to help create important training resources online that help keep them safe on the job.

Our friends over at Irwin Tools have helped name September 21 National Tradesmen Day, a day set aside to honor the men and women who keep this country running.
