  "account": "Lowe's, a major home improvement retailer, is launching the Building Futures Skilled Trades Coalition to address the growing shortage of skilled labor in the United States. The coalition, backed by over 75 partners including Nvidia, AT&T, and Bank of America, aims to train and develop one million people for skilled trades careers by 2035. This initiative comes as the U.S. Department of Education predicts a potential economic loss of $1 trillion annually if the shortage of 2.1 million skilled trades jobs by 2030 persists. Lowe's CEO Marvin Ellison emphasized the importance of addressing the perception that college is the only path to success and highlighted the need for collaboration between educators, businesses, and workforce organizations to create training and credentialing solutions.",
