## Description

The mikeroweWORKS Foundation is changing the way America views work by challenging the stigma surrounding skilled labor. The foundation was created by Mike Rowe, known from the TV series Dirty Jobs, who has firsthand experience with the skilled workers who keep society running smoothly. The foundation's goal is to close the skills gap by redefining the definition of a good education and a good job.

They offer the Work Ethic Scholarship Program which provides financial assistance to individuals pursuing training for skilled jobs that are in high demand. They believe in the value of hard work, personal responsibility, and a positive attitude, as outlined in The S.W.E.A.T. Pledge.

With a focus on making work cool again, the foundation works to encourage people to learn useful skills and rewards those who demonstrate a strong work ethic. They have given away over $5 million in Work Ethic scholarships and other initiatives that aim to close the skills gap, providing tangible support for those willing to work hard and pursue skilled careers.
