Manual labor is often misunderstood as unskilled work, yet this is far from the truth. Many manual labor roles require specialized training, certifications, and even apprenticeships to ensure that workers possess the necessary skills and expertise. While entry-level positions may demand little formal education, technical roles in construction, plumbing, carpentry, and electrical work often involve extensive preparation. As defined by Fred Goff of Jobcase, Inc., manual labor encompasses careers where workers spend at least 25% of their time doing physical tasks, often much more. These jobs, despite their physical demands, can provide fulfilling and rewarding career paths.

Recognizing the disconnect between skilled manual laborers and homeowners seeking reliable services, a team of innovators from Shadow Tech has developed Skillset, a digital platform designed to bridge this gap. In areas like the province of Antique, manual laborers often face challenges in finding steady employment due to limited visibility and access to job networks. On the other hand, homeowners frequently struggle to locate skilled workers for specific tasks, leading to inefficiencies and frustrations in the hiring process. Skillset aims to address these challenges by providing a seamless platform where homeowners can post job opportunities and skilled workers can showcase their qualifications and availability, fostering a more efficient and reliable hiring process. By streamlining the connection between these two groups, Skillset enhances employment opportunities for manual laborers while offering homeowners a more convenient and trustworthy way to find skilled professional.
