/PRNewswire/ – Tremco CPG announces the launch of its renowned Rising Stars program in

Cleveland, OH

, in collaboration with Cleveland Heights High School. With other national locations such as

Brooklyn, NY

,

Newark, NJ

,

Boston, MA

and

Tremco CPG is proud to launch the program in its own backyard and the two-day event marked a significant step in expanding this initiative nationwide.

With the construction trades industry facing a chronic labor shortage, Rising Stars is designed to provide hands-on education with subject-matter experts, develop diverse skillsets, increase access to resources, and foster success for emerging professionals in the industry.

Open to young people 16 to 24 years old, the program provides participants with an overview of the career opportunities in construction and skilled trades. Participants are also introduced to key industry concepts through a blend of seminars and hands-on activities, with sessions covering topics that range from building science and the impacts of climate change to indoor air-quality and mock job interviews.

“Sometimes students don’t know what they don’t know. Being able to speak to them at such a young age and introduce them to construction is a great opportunity to engage them and get them involved,” says

Laura Brockman

, Executive Vice President of Business Operations for Tremco CPG.

Rising Stars industry partners also can meet with – and recruit – these trained, eager young people looking to join the industry.

“There’s a massive shortage of workers in the sector. Rising Stars is giving students exposure to real-world work experiences and opportunities to be able to meet and work side by side with professionals in the field. Plus, it’s focused on things like the environment and sustainability, which we know are important to young people,” says

Randall McShepard

, Vice President of Public Affairs and Chief Talent Officer at RPM International Inc.

The launch event spanned two days, with top executives from Tremco CPG and RPM Inc. as well as community and school district representatives. The event started at Tremco’s Building Science Laboratory where school officials, community organizers and industry partners toured the facility and learned more about the Rising Stars program. The next day, event-goers met at Cleveland Heights High School to celebrate the official launch of the Rising Stars program in the

Cleveland

area.

“I think one of the great things about the Rising Stars program is it gives our students a foot into the door. A lot of students can be apprehensive to the unknown. By having early exposure, it breaks down barriers and builds confidence,” says

Cleveland Heights’

Administrative Principal, Dr.

Donovan Mitchell will be eligible to sign a $208.5 million extension with the Cleveland Cavaliers this offseason. Whether or not he chooses to sign it is one of the biggest storylines in all of the NBA. 

But what happens if Mitchell decides to pass on the deal? How will the Cavs proceed with their future and Mitchell’s time in Cleveland?

Terry Pluto of Cleveland.com reports that the Cavaliers would opt to trade Mitchell instead of playing out his final year of team control.

“I’ve been told the Cavs either would sign him to an extension this summer, or trade him,” wrote Pluto.“They have zero intention of opening the 2024-25 season with Mitchell heading into his free agent year.”

Mitchell has been an All-Star in each of his two seasons with the Cavaliers and has not failed to find individual success. However, it’s postseason aspirations that he’s more interested in at this point in his career. 

President of Basketball Operations Koby Altman spoke to the Cleveland media on Friday and briefly touched on the Mitchell contract situation. 

“I’ll say that my exit interview with [Mitchell] was really good in that he was talking about the future and how excited he was about the team, and the organization … When we’re talking to him about the future here, getting his feedback, it’s all about, ‘How do we make this thing better? How do we achieve this together? How do we win in the future?’”

Read through the entire transcript of Altman’s press conference here.

At some point, we’ll have more answers on the Cavaliers and Mitchell’s future. But it will continue to be a polarizing topic until we do.
