The Blueprint
Milestone 1

The Blueprint

Every successful construction project starts with a detailed plan. While you cannot perfectly plan your career ahead of time, it’s clear that if you reach The Blueprint milestone, you’ve shown a commitment to building a home at PeopleReady Skilled Trades.

The Foundation
Milestone 2

The Foundation

Building a strong foundation is the next critical step in your PeopleReady Skilled Trades home-building journey. By reaching The Foundation milestone, you’ve proven to our customers and to us that you want to build your home here, and for that, we could not be more excited!

The Framework
Milestone 3

The Framework

When the framework starts going up, you see a building taking shape. In your case, each assignment you accept is like adding another 2×4 to your own, personal home at PeopleReady Skilled Trades. And at this point, we can see that your career here is really taking shape.

The Finishing Touches
Milestone 4

The Finishing Touches

It’s the moment you’ve eagerly awaited: a fully built home! Building a great home takes hard work and dedication, as does building your career. For those elite tradespeople who make it to The Finishing Touches milestone, we cannot thank you enough for choosing to build your home at PeopleReady Skilled Trades!

Build Your Home at PeopleReady Skilled Trades

Similar to building a home, choosing the place you want to build your career is a big decision. And it’s hard to find a company where you feel safe, respected and appreciated. It’s equally hard to build a career in the trades without the right tools, equipment and gear.

With our Respect the Craft program, finding a place that feels like home — where you can build a long and successful career — just got a whole lot easier. In addition to recognition throughout the year, our Respect the Craft milestone rewards program has been revamped to feature meaningful prizes that were carefully selected to help tradespeople grow and thrive in their careers.

With our milestone-based rewards program, the more hours you work, the more milestones you hit along your PeopleReady Skilled Trades home-building journey. With every milestone achieved, hardworking tradespeople like you unlock new prizes — ranging from t-shirts, jackets and boots to drills and nail guns! Take a look below as we outline the milestones you’ll achieve along your journey.
