Connecting Skilled Workers with Great Opportunities

Since many blue-collar jobs consist of mainly manual labor, educational requirements for workers are typically lower than those of white-collar workers. Often, not even a high school diploma is required, and many of the skills required for blue-collar jobs are learned by the employee while working.

In higher-level blue-collar jobs, such as becoming an electrician or plumber, vocational training or apprenticeships are required, and state-certification is also necessary. For this reason, it is common to apply the label "blue-collar" or "working class" to people without a college education, whether or not they work in a blue-collar job.
