3.1.1 Study Materials

You can:

• list jobs within the building, industrial, and mechanical trades
• recall the differences among the trades

• Manufacturing is building products on a large scale using manual labor and machinery. • Before the Industrial Revolution, 80% of the population was farmers. • The Industrial Revolution started with the invention of machinery. Because of that machinery, the production of goods was much faster. • Before the Industrial Revolution, people lived in small communities or towns where there were skilled people who made and sold goods by hand only to the others who lived in the town. • The rise of production and the use of machinery meant more people went from rural towns to cities where factories and manufacturing were opening. The Industrial Revolution paved the way for the world we live in today. Because of what was created in the past, you now have many opportunities. Of those opportunities are many careers that would not exist unless this revolution occurred.

3.1.1 Study Materials

• Industrial trades are trade work dealing with processing raw materials into finished goods for the public or constructing systems for the public.• “Industry” means the processing of raw materials. • This type of building requires the skill of many tradespeople to make it happen. • Building trades are trade work connected to homes and buildings' construction and finishing touches. • Building trades are the same as construction. Wherever wood is being used to build something new, it typically falls under the category of building trades. • The job outlook is how many jobs are available in a specific field.

3.1.1 Study Materials

The typical steps to start a job in the trades are: (in this order!)1. Apprentice - This means you just started at a job in the trades and have little to no knowledge of the skilled work. You work under someone who knows the skills and trains you on how to do it correctly and safely.2. Journeyman - a trained and experienced worker who can work independently under the general guidance of a master. This stage is once you pass the training of being an apprentice.

3. Master – Finally, a person who passes the journeyman step goes on to be considered at the master level. People at the master level are considered experts in their trade. They can do the work entirely independently and are often the ones who train apprentices and supervise journeymen.

3.1.1 Study Materials

•Mechanical trades are work related to the design, use, and maintenance of machines and machinery.• Mechanical trades and manufacturing are synonymous. If there is a factory where a product is being made, it falls under the category of mechanical trades. • Summary of ideas: o Industrial trades deal with industry o Building trades deal with construction o Mechanical trades deal with manufacturing.

3.2.1 Trades That Work with Heavy Machinery

You can:

• identify common names for heavy machinery and their uses
• describe the evolution of heavy machinery over time

• The Industrial Revolution brought about significant societal changes that still have effects seen today.
• Life before the Industrial Revolution centered around small towns built mainly by farmers and a smaller number of those who made goods by hand.
• Things were traded only at a local level and at a slow pace.
• Once towns were connected via railways and inventions of machinery like the loom that creates fabric, society started to change.
• People began slowly shifting from farming to manufacturing work, from rural to urban areas, and from local goods to goods traded from all over the country.
• Heavy machinery is a large vehicle with functions often related to earthwork and construction. Heavy machinery must be relatively large in scale and needs to be a vehicle that can be steered.

3.2.1 Trades That Work with Heavy Machinery

Agriculture was only the start of heavy machinery.

• 1886: Machines for agriculture began to be built for planting and harvesting plants.
• 1906: The gas-powered tractor trailer was invented.
• 1920: Excavators (big machines meant to move large amounts of earth) were used for mining minerals.
• 1956: The Federal-Aid Highway Act was signed and set off a need for large machinery across the country to develop the United States’ highway and bridge systems over the next 35 years.
• 1990: Environmental restrictions on heavy machinery meant that most machines became more compact than the typical “giants” that came before. This smaller machinery started to become available for individual rentals in the 2000s.

3.2.1 Trades That Work with Heavy Machinery

Job Potential with Heavy Machinery:

• Heavy machinery is currently not automated machinery.
• This means that they need an operator to run them.
• An operator is a person who controls the functions of heavy machinery.
• Over the next decade, an estimated 84,300 operator jobs are expected to open each year.
• In most of these positions, you can learn on the job. This means you can seek employment and earn a paycheck while learning the trade instead of investing your money into education and certification first.
