Description
In a year marked by rapid shifts and uncertainty, understanding the current economic climate has never been more critical-or more challenging. Echoing J.K. Galbraith’s famous observation, “There are two kinds of forecasters: those who don’t know and those who don’t know they don’t know,” this course invites participants to make sense of the economic turbulence we’ve witnessed. Did the feared tariffs materialize or were last-minute deals struck? Are we headed for a recession, or simply navigating a new phase of the business cycle? This course aims to provide a clear-eyed assessment of where we stand-and what might lie ahead for electrical contractors.
