Rewarding Careers

Why skilled trades are a smart move

We train for real careers, the kind that will still be needed tomorrow. Here’s why these skilled trades keep growing, and why they make sense for you.

Experienced workers are retiring

The BLS projects 45,800 job openings per year through 2032 in welding alone.

Growth fueled by new tech

New technologies are rolling out, so employers need skilled workers to install and maintain them. For example, HVAC installer jobs are projected to grow 9% over the next decade.
