Manja HornerManja Horner is a third-generation tradesperson who grew up working in her family's restoration business, learning craft, precision, and pride of work from her father and the experienced masters who she worked alongside. She knows the rhythm of a jobsite, the weight of responsibility on a project, the culture and unspoken rules that shape life in the trades-because she's lived them.For more than sixteen years, Manja has built a career in skills training, leadership development, and curriculum design-working across nearly every industry. Today, she's back where her roots are: supporting skilled trades companies, unions, and frontline teams across North America as the founder of Boost Union and Boost Learning Design. She helps organizations strengthen their supervisors, modernize workforce practices, train workers, and build workplaces people want to stay in.Horner has seen what's working. She has seen where the industry fails the next generation of workers. And she knows the cost of waiting. It's not too late-but it's close. Manja challenges owners and leaders to stop looking outward for solutions. No government program, trade school, or recruitment campaign will save a company that refuses to develop its own people. Her message is clear: build an irresistible workplace, train your leaders, capture your knowledge before it retires, and create your own workforce pipeline from the ground up. The future of the trades depends on it. Read More Read Less
