Our mission

We remove the financial and informational barriers that keep talented young people out of the skilled trades — and connect them with the training, resources, and professional network they need to build successful careers.

Our vision is a pipeline from exposure to education, apprenticeship, journeyman licensure, employment, entrepreneurship — and back again, as today's students become tomorrow's mentors and employers.

Two ways to light the way

Journeyman Pathway Scholarship

Tuition, program fees, books, tools, safety gear, exam fees, and transportation — financial hardship should never end a promising career in the trade.
