ACHP ANNOUNCES POLICY STATEMENT ON PROMOTION AND VALUE OF TRADITIONAL TRADES TRAINING

摘要

The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) has announced the findings of a task force working to promote the development of a robust workforce in the skilled preservation trades. ACHP members adopted a policy statement prepared by the Traditional Trades Training Task Force, which is exploring ways to address the deficit of skilled workers, such as masons, carpenters, painters, plasterers, and others in the construction trades, who know how to-and why we should-preserve, repair, replicate, and maintain historic materials and finishes essential to historic preservation projects.
