Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Welcome to Quad City Forum, aweekly community service program produced by iHeartMedia to
look at the issues and opportunities thatexist in our community. Now here's your
hosts for a quad City Forum,Pot Luke and Denny Linhowe. We have
a chance to talk to Julian Vanderveldi, business development manager at Shaw Electric.

(00:21):
Julian, thank you for the timeand for so many people. I think
even when you were what under twelveyears old, or maybe you were under
ten, people still remember this namefrom your little league days. But it's
not like you've ever in your life. You just stopped resting on your laurels
on that you've gone on and donegreat things, make yourself and your family

(00:43):
proud. But the thing that youwant to talk to us today about,
maybe we'll get into some other things, is just talking about the main thing
is we need young people in thetrades. Yeah, and I think just
to kind of, you know,pull ourselves back a little bit into into
how we kind of got into thesituation. I feel myself fortunate in the

(01:06):
role that I have to have grownup in the generation that I did,
because I kind of have some insightinto how this has occurred, right,
And and everybody's experiences are different,but I think certainly you'll find a lot
of people of my generation have avery similar story where effectively we were presented
growing up with three possibilities. Right, You basically had three routes. It

(01:26):
was like, you're either going togo to college, you get good grades,
You go to college, you geta degree, you get a job.
Right. And then the second onewas, well, you go to
the military, but the purpose ofthe military was really because the military would
pay for your college, So yougo to the military to go to college,
to get a degree, to geta job. And the third one
that we were sold was effectively,if you don't do either of those things,
you're going to be a janitor.Right, And nothing against janitors obviously

(01:49):
a necessary profession to have, butthat was like the way that it was
presented, you know, by thosewho were who were kind of bringing us
up and mentoring us, was youbasically had these three different things, and
they obviously pushed further to the collegeside, and what you could do in
that aspect of things, and tradeswere almost seen as like a like a

(02:09):
birth right. You know, Oh, this dude's dad is an electrician,
so he's probably gonna learn how tobe an electrician from his dad. Or
this guy's you know, dad's ayou know, a pipe fitter, so
he's probably gonna learn how to bea pipe from his dad. Like that
was it. We had what Ithink we had welding in high school and
auto shop and that was it,and those were you know, and that

(02:29):
was kind of the only options thatwere presented. And so it's I think
it's led to this point where,you know, obviously, the the dream
that was sold in terms of yougo to college, you get a degree,
you get a job, you know, you know, a wife,
kids in the white picket fence,that whole deal isn't necessarily the reality that
that has come to pass. AndI think a lot of people in my

(02:51):
generation are recognizing and starting to getmore forward in telling the current generation of
of high school in middle school kids, especially that there are other options out
there and specifically the the dire needfor trades people across you know, all
industries. There's more work than thereare workers. There's opportunities, uh,

(03:14):
you know, there's there's you canstill go to college. As as someone
who's looking to get into the trades, like trade schools and uh. And
you know, community colleges with tradeprograms are a great avenue. Or you
can just go straight out of highschool into the trades uh and start earning
money and start working towards you know, your your journeyman's license uh and and
kind of get ahead of the game. And so that's that's something that we're

(03:37):
trying to push really hard right nowwith Shaw, is that uh, you
know, that mentality that the it'snot a binary or even a trinary system,
like there's so many things that youcan do, uh, and the
trades are a spectacular route that maybehas been undersold for you know, for
two or three generations and now isa desperate need. Well. And and

(03:59):
also when we go back to thecollege, not to not college at all,
but sometimes people would go and evenwhen I've talked to more than a
few responsible people, they would goto college and they had no idea when
they were eighteen what they wanted todo. So it's a timing thing.
And it's a timing thing for thetrades too. And when we talk about
a starting job, when you're talkingabout somebody working in the trade, that's

(04:25):
not like when they're making you know, six bucks an hour at a job
that they're they're never going to beproud to talk about when they come home.
You know, that job is justtemporary. When we're talking about a
trade, we're talking about something thatyou can take anywhere you want to go,
absolutely, and that's I think fora lot of my generation, who

(04:49):
you know, we kind of getthis wrap for being in you know,
mine and the ones I say mine. But I'm getting older, so now
I have to talk about the oneswho are after me. I'm kind of
I'm more in like a you know, a solidified sort of generation. But
for the people you know in mylower age group and then the ones behind
me, there's this this feeling ofof of what's the word I'm looking for,

(05:13):
uh like of transience. Right,it's hard to keep people very fluid.
It's very fluid. It's very fluidwhat they're doing real fluid. And
that's and that's one thing that thetrades are really good for. If you
are uh, you know, anelectrician, you can be an electrician in
any city in America. They allneed them. It's always going to be

(05:33):
something that that has where you havea place, uh and you have a
marketable skill that you can go uhand and do. Whether you're doing it
independently or whether you're doing it aspart of a company, it's always going
to be something that has value,uh. And that's what we're trying to
create, is is a generation ofkids who who are valuable, you know,

(05:56):
not just as part of the workforce, but who can provide value value
for themselves and their families and continueto grow in their own professional capacity.
And I know we've been talking aboutyou know, like younger generation, but
we but in the trades, wereally are talking about folks who are really
of any age and any gender,correct absolutely, And I think that's one

(06:18):
thing that there's there's a bit ofa gap that we're seeing right now in
the trades where we're getting to thepoint where you have kind of the guys
who've been doing it since you know, I was a kid, and then
there was that gap that we've talkedabout where where you know, the the
employment within the trades you know,dropped off significantly. And we're looking at

(06:40):
this point for you know, notjust young people who are who want to
do it, but young people whoare driven on like this quick point I'm
gonna you know, address both ofthose things. But one of the things
that we're doing with Shaw right nowis we're we're founding this program that we're
calling Shaw University. And basically whatwe're doing is we're bringing in areas high
school kids from area high schools whoare already interested in the electrical trades.

(07:03):
And to your point, it's boysand girls, it's you know, sophomores,
juniors and seniors, it's anyone whohas an interest in this in this
field, and just giving them afull day of hands on, you know,
educational learning, you know, doingthe practical application things that an electrician
is going to do on a dailybasis in a safe and controlled environment.

(07:26):
And a part of what I whatI really like about this is one you
know, you spoke to people goingto college and how sometimes people would go
to college just because they didn't knowwhat they wanted to do, or even
if they if they thought they knew. Like I went to college originally for
pre med. Then I realized realquick because my grandpa was a radiologist,
I wanted to be like him.But I figured out that I wasn't going

(07:46):
to be able to both handle theload of pre med and be a football
player. Full time, which isthat's your full time job when you're a
scholarship football player. So I chosethe route of going through football, which
ended up turning out pretty okay.But oh now wait a minute, step,
wait a minute, stop on yourshell and yourself vander Velli come going

(08:09):
to I mean, could have gonebetter, but it was okay. Okay,
well it still was pretty good.But you're right getting back to your
point. Yeah, it stopped bragging. It is. It's hard to a
lot of kids go you know,to college not knowing what they want to
do, and they might change majorsa couple of times, and you know,
they get into get that out ofit. Uh. There's and I

(08:30):
think that we're starting to see thisuh filter down into high schools where more
schools, more school districts, andyou know, and part of us doing
this Shaw University thing is the ideathat we want high school students to be
able to experience, uh, youknow, something of quote unquote real life
if you will, uh, youknow, while they are still in high
school. What is what is thething that you want to do where you

(08:52):
think you want to do, Let'sget you some experience in that field and
for those kids who who don't wantto do that thing. Great if they
come out to Sean University and theygo, hey, you know, I
spend a whole day doing this,I really don't think this is what I
want to do for the rest ofmy life. Great we have saved those
kids the time, energy, andmoney, and save their future employers the
time, energy and money of them, you know, spending four months or

(09:15):
six months doing this thing, hatingit and then being disillusioned and leaving.
But for the ones who are passionateabout it, who are like, this
is great and they have fun doingit now, they've got more direction in
life. And I think that asthe as we kind of look at the
trades as a whole, it isopening up a lot more it was at
one point in time, I think, very highly considered just kind of you

(09:35):
know, a male dominated field,which to you know, not to understand
it. It is still a maledominated field today, but I think that
that demographic has the ability to changeas kind of the stigma around it changes
and it becomes not just a thingthat is you know, passed down from
father to so honor just a thingfor people who don't go to college to

(09:58):
do but something that is a desirecareer goal to be an electrician or a
pipe fitter, or a welder,or you know, a mason or a
carpenter, like are these are goodjobs that pay well, that allow you
to go to work in a practicalsetting and learn marketable, valuable skills that

(10:18):
you can take with you the restof your life without going into you know,
the death that often associates college.And that's something that everybody across any
demographic and any gender can absolutely youknow, get in touch with. Well,
it was more, it was notinclusive. It was kind of closed
off. Sometimes You're right, itwas almost felt like signor you know,
here, here's dad, I'll takeit over from here dad. But yet

(10:41):
at the same time, yeah,we're not seeing that now. And yet
when you have these little when youhave these events, it's great because much
like when you went to to Iowa, you were thinking about a certain path,
Well, you don't really start figuringout what that path is all about

(11:01):
until you get what three months intothe program, this particular thing can give
them a hands on idea is hisright for me right away exactly? And
then you're able to move on.So when we talk about some of these
events, will they how can peoplekind of keep track or moms and dads
or some of these younger people,how can they find out? And this

(11:24):
doesn't mean that just if you're eighteen, you're only taking eighteen year olds.
Somebody that's maybe thirty two maybe couldfind out when some of these events are
coming up, because they could bethe next one that you need, absolutely
and right now. So this yearis the pilot program, if you will.
Essentially the short version of the storyas there was a kid from West

(11:48):
Branch High School last year who earnedhis way into a competition. He was
going to compete in the Skills USAIA championship in the electrical field. So
they called up and said, hey, will you help train our guy.
Were like, we're going to sendhim down, you know, to you
for a couple of days. Youknow, you train them up and you
know, go through all this stuffbecause we're we have a lot of people,

(12:11):
a lot of apprentices who win awardsthrough the ABC of Iowa Craft Championships.
So they wanted him to get sometraining. Well, that turned into
his entire class coming down and spendinghalf a day kind of going through some
of the things that he was trainingwith and we thought, this is really
cool. How can we expand onthat? So this year we've already filled

(12:31):
the program, which we think isgreat. We kind of hope we opened
it up to eight schools. Weasked them to send eight you know,
students of peace and they all jumpedon board, and we're really excited about
it, and we're feeling really goodabout this first year. Ideally, what
this leads into is, you know, maybe it's an idea that is something
that we are able to do annuallyand then expand right to more schools and

(12:52):
more students and give them give morepeople an opportunity. But then other companies
can do the same thing, otherprograms, schools can get you know,
more directly involved, you know,with trade companies in the area, construction
companies. I know, like NorthScott does a good job of having a
program where the you know, thekids go out and actually build houses,

(13:13):
right Like that's really cool. Youknow, Clinton's got a program where they
do like a job shadow sort ofthing where kids can take one of their
periods during the school day and goout into the community and work at a
job that they might have interest in. And I went to a like a
gathering of people to kind of celebratethis program, and it was interesting to
hear the kids talk about, Oh, I went for you know, to

(13:33):
work at this place because I thoughtI was interested in fashion, but then
they put me in charge of theirsocial media account and I wound up deciding
that I wanted to go to collegefrom marketing. Like, we want to
do that same thing, and wethink that it's something that can be incorporated
into the community. And while wehope to be a spearhead for that and
kind of be a proving ground thatthis, you know, that this sort
of thing can work, we alsowanted to be something that continues to spread

(13:54):
specifically within the trade so that kidscan get that safe, inclusive, hands
on environment, you know, ina controlled space like we're providing through our
Shaw University at our training center,but something that expands to other businesses,
other fields, right and continues tokind of build the the energy around the

(14:16):
trades and build the knowledge and theunderstanding of what it actually is, what
the trades are, and how theywork and how they can fit into somebody's
life. And that may be somethingthat isn't just exclusive to high school students.
But then also is able to expandto others who are trying to change
fields. Maybe if they're out ofcollege and they've been you know, they
went through the rigamarole of a fouryear college and they've got a degree,

(14:39):
but they don't like what the degreeis in, or you know, they're
having a hard time making a living. You know, again, you can
bump over to the trades and earnmoney while you work and learn those skills.
And it's not something that's exclusive toyoung people. It's not something that's
exclusive to one group, right.It's something where there's such a need that
if you're interested in it, comeout and talk, right, talk to

(15:01):
somebody who's in the field, comeout and get some initial training and see
if it's something that you want todo, because it's it's not for everybody,
but for the people who it isfor man, you can make a
heck of a career and go placesand do things and not be constrained by
a specific title or a specific company. You can you know, you can

(15:22):
go out into the world and utilizethese skills anywhere. And I think that's
really appealing to you know, peopleof my generation and the ones after us,
you know, which is I'm approachingforty. So shoot, that's that's
a quite a hefty group of peoplethat you're talking about that that could benefit
from from, you know, thetrades as a whole being a more standard

(15:45):
I guess avenue for kids post highschool. I know that people that are
listening, they you know, theycould google something about the trades blah blah
blah. But Julian, how couldthey really find out more about what Shaw
Electric is offering? I would say, uh to first of all, for
for the for Shaw Electric. Interms of like what we're doing with Shaw
University, we're certainly going to beuh be you know, putting some stuff

(16:08):
out after the event. We wantthis to be something that uh that the
community is uh is aware of andis able to kind of you know see
and and wrap their heads around anduh and hopefully embrace and like I said
that, it you know, spreadsand grows as the years go on.
Just in terms of the company itself, I mean we're a very open,
uh you know company. Shoot stopin and uh, you know and talk

(16:30):
to us. We're down here onRiver Drive. A lot of people still
think we're above the old lighting expressions, right, which is now it's Hope
Bridal, So we're above you know, Hope Bridle. That's an interesting that
Wait a minute, that's kind ofan interesting thing. Saw Electric. Well,
yeah, I mean it's you know, it's our building. We just
expanded it and put in you know, new offices and everything. It's you

(16:51):
know, we're we're growing and uhand and hoping that other people will come
along with us in that regard.But yeah, I think that you know,
it's not such a closed off sortof uh you know environment anymore.
Within the trades. It's not somethingthat you know, from the outside looking
in always kind of felt as Imentioned, like it was, you know,
almost a hereditary thing like it's it'sreally not that, you know,

(17:12):
we want people to be interested inwhat the trades have to offer, and
we're more than happy, you know, to to talk about it. Shoot
hit me up sometimes. I'm youknow, I'm all over social media.
This is you know, this ismy job is is hyping up you know,
the trades and making sure that everybodyknows about Shaw and and what we
can do and our our you know, our engineering partner group as engineering if

(17:34):
you're more technically minded, if it'snot you know, you're thinking, Oh,
it's just you know, pipe andwire and YadA YadA, blah blah
blah. Like you know, there'sindustrial engineering, there's preventative maintenance. There's
uh, you know, drafting anddesign. There's all sorts of different services
that can be offered, and controlsand automation, the getting things from here
to there and touch screen you know, programming and custom building machines and cabinets.

(17:59):
There's so much more that goes intothe trades. And I think people
understand and and we're an example ofthat, you know here with Sean I
aes and we'd love for more peopleto you know, just to talk to
us about it and get to knowus. And with people getting into the
trades, I think you're there's aconfidence, a self esteem. You build

(18:19):
up the self esteem and the confidenceonce you get involved in the trade too.
Absolutely. I mean there's I think, so I coach high school football
now and then were you and wereyou? Did you play football? We
didn't know that. No, No, I just I got into it because
it was something to do. Yeah, but anyway you're coaching, yeah,

(18:40):
go ahead. But I think thatyou know, one of the things that
we talked about with our guys,is is your your performance starts with knowing
what to do right. If youknow what to do, you can do
it confidently. If you can doit confidently, you can do it aggressively.
But that's where we're not necessarily talkingabout the aggressive side of things here.

(19:00):
But with a with knowledge comes confidence, and specifically with a you know,
with a knowledge of of something thatis practical, there's there's there's a
different sort of confidence I think inin knowing something in an academic sense and
knowing something in a practical sense.Like I I'm in business development, right,
that's my my job here with SHAW. I'm not an electrician. I

(19:22):
would like to I'm very fresh here. I would like to over my career
learn you know, some of thebasics of the electrical trade, because it
is such a cool thing. Youknow, in my house, if a
light switch doesn't necessarily work, Idon't know what the heck to do.
It's a little bit of a ofa you know, shock to to go
and flip a light switch and thatdoesn't turn on the light that you think

(19:42):
it's going to. Where the lightthat you know it has turned on for
a long time doesn't actually work.Like beyond change in light bulbs. I've
been pretty much useless for most ofmy life to have the ability to diagnose
right a problem, specifically when itcomes to the electrical field, in my
opinion, because that's you know,there's uh, it's something that's only proliferating

(20:04):
more right the as technology continues togrow and become, you know, more
and more integrated into every aspect ofour lives. All of that stuff needs
power. All of it needs electricityfrom somewhere. And the ability to to
have the basic knowledge to diagnose,you know, even the most basic issues
within your own house and then fixthose issues brings a confidence with it and

(20:27):
and sort of that that feeling ofaccomplishment, right that that I think a
lot of people could could use ona daily basis, that little injection of
heck, yeah, I did that. And I think that that's a really
cool thing that that the trades cancan also offer is any it doesn't matter
which trade it is, your houseprobably utilized it right in most cases.

(20:48):
So those are little diagnoses that youcan make and little things that you can
do that you know are going tosave you money personally in the wrong in
the long run. On your ownrepairs and whatnot, but also that that
allow you to then have that skillset that you can leverage in other ways
outside of you know, your immediateneeds for yourself, but also for others.
Yeah, because I don't know iftoo many times where I've gotten home

(21:11):
and I've given a weather forecast thatyou know, has saved me money to
my husband, you know, becausebecause I'm a radio broadcaster. But I'll
tell you what, if I couldtear out and report my concrete in my
driveway, he'd love you forever.Oh my gosh, Oh my gosh,
wouldn't that be nice? Yeah,well, this is I mean, it's
an interesting concept because you guys arebringing this up and this might be I'm

(21:32):
gonna I'm gonna take this with us. Our our our our motto here is
to empower people, serve others,and provide solutions. And I feel like
the empowering people part of this,like, shoot, you know, maybe
that's part of what Shaw University kindof evolves into, is is you know,
lessons for for people on just thedaily you know, things that can
go you know, awrye in yourhouse on the electrical side, and uh,

(21:55):
you know, and and how toto fix little you know things here
and there. I'm sure that youcan do that stuff through YouTube, don't
You're wrong. Almost everything's on YouTubenowadays, you know. But at the
same time, to have professional trainingfrom professionals is a little bit different from
you know, from getting on thereand hearing Greg from Omaha talk about,
you know, how to put thechain back on a bicycle. I got

(22:17):
to tell you though, wait aminute, I got to interrupt you there,
because Greg from Omaha does a terriblejob on the camera and it's always
shaky, and you can guarantee,similar to what you said, knowledge is
power, A little knowledge is adangerous thing. Yeah, you gotta have
to talk about something in the trades. That's what we got to call a
professional, call a professional. Ilike it. Well, we we love

(22:38):
this, and Juli and Vandervelde,business development manager with Shaw, I think
we could still talk another hour withyou and we still wouldn't come around to
square one again. We're looking forwardto more chats and looking to see more
and more of these the roles insome of these trades filling up here soon.
Well. I certainly hope this,you know, this is the spark

(23:00):
of something that continues to grow andreally, you know, bring back you
know, the trades as as morethan just an option, but as a
goal, you know, for formore people, specifically in the generations after
me, because it's it's certainly inneed, and for anybody who is looking
for an opportunity and looking for work. Man, Like I said, there's

(23:21):
more work than there are workers.You know, we'd love to have you
come out and talk to us.If you or your organization would like to
be featured on Quad City Forum,please visit the contact page and our station
website. Now back to Pat Lukeand Danny Lynn Howe getting a chance to
talk to a frequent guest. Iwouldn't say she gets frequent flyer miles to
be a part of this, butKelly Kraft, the program manager at Gilda's

(23:45):
Club, is here to talk tous today about all the things. Now,
whether we're talking to Alexi Boll oranybody from Gilder's Club, things are
happening all the time. But generallyspeaking, we're going to get into that
busy stuff. But as we alwaysstart off our conversations with you, Gildess
Club, what's it all about?Yeah, Guildess Club quantities is a cancer

(24:08):
support community, and we provide socialand emotional support at no cost to anyone
impacted by cancer. So that meanspeople with an active diagnosis now survivors,
friends and family, kids and teenswith their own diagnosis, or a loved
ones. And then we do thatwith programs like support groups, educational workshops,
healthy lifestyle activities like yoga and meditation, social events, and then we're

(24:30):
also a hub for resources and referrals. Now when we talk about all the
workshops and things change almost by thesecond. It seems like always great to
go to the website. But wehave a hospice workshop that's happening on Monday,
April eighth. What is that all? It's what's that about? Yeah,
So on Monday April eighth, fivethirty to six thirty at our Mulline

(24:52):
Clubhouse, we're having a palliative careand hospice workshop. We'll have a representative
from Genesis Hospice and palliative Care into give us info on the differences between
palliative care and hospice because there's alot of misinformation and questions and who might
be appropriate for each service at whattime, and that can be joined in
person or via zoom. Well,that's that always ends up being the how

(25:15):
things are appropriate for certain people.Certainly families need to have someplace to be
able to talk about it. Butsometimes some of these workshops are great.
How you can customize it directly toa certain part of the audience, that's
fantastic. Again, to find outmore on that or to register, what
do they need to do? Theycan call us at five six three three

(25:37):
two six seven five zero four orregister online at Guilders CLUBQC dot org.
So, Kelly, you guys dooffer a lot of different services and workshops,
and I like that you're getting intosome care that people might not necessarily
pair with cancer treatments, but you'regiving more information about these a little more
holistic treatments like acupuncture. Yeah.Absolutely so. On Monday, April twenty

(26:00):
second, five thirty to six thirtyat our Davenport Clubhouse, we're holding an
acupuncture workshop. We're having Darcy Carlton. She's a licensed and board certified acupuncture
specialist joining us and she'll go overand overview of kind of traditional Chinese medicine
how it can support a person withhelping release side effects caused by cancer and

(26:21):
its treatment and answer all sorts ofquestions and you know, come with questions,
come with misinformation, and yeah,well I love that too, because
there's misinformation, you want to youwant to correct correct people so they know
exactly what's going on because they don'tknow it's misinformation until they asked the questions.
Yep, and Darcy did this onebefore and it was really great,

(26:44):
just really demystified and answered a lotof great questions. A couple of new
support groups are going to be outthere for you guys, because that is
another arm of Guildless Club. It'sjust giving that added support for people impacted
by cancer. Yeah, so we'readding two new support groups in April.
So in Moline, we're adding aFriends and Family Support Group from six to
seven thirty on Wednesday nights. Sothat's a support group for adults who are

(27:06):
impacted by a loved ones cancer diagnosis. We're having that one at the same
time as our Wednesday Connecting Through Cancergroup in Moline, so people can come
together with their loved ones, goto their different support groups and then all
leave together too. And then we'realso adding a cancer Connecting Through Cancer group
and to have import in April soon the second and fourth Tuesdays, we'll
have that Connecting through Cancer from threepoint thirty to five o'clock with our weekly
