Skilled trade workers are the OG essential workers. Period.
We get down and dirty when others can’t or won’t. We keep the modern world running, powered, safe, comfortable, and sheltered. We are the unsung
backbone of society. Skilled trades are a necessity, and they won't be overshadowed by technology. So why don't skilled trade workers get the attention that other essential workers do? We're here to change that.
We Refuse to Let Hard Work Die.
It’s time to step up and be mentors for our future generations, showing them the true value of skilled, physical work. Even if that desire is already in their blood, it isn’t easy to know what to do with it. Students often feel stigmatized about blue-collar work when surrounded by teachers, parents, peers, and media that emphasize college careers. It’s time to flip the script.
It is our mission to make skilled trade careers visible as the powerhouse they truly are. That’s what Tradesters is all about.
You Don’t Sit in the Offices. You Build Them.
There’s just something special about getting your hands dirty and putting your mind to work. Think about it. When you fix something or figure out a problem, that feeling of pride is nothing short of unbeatable.
You're not just clocking in and out; you're making a real impact. You're the reason businesses keep running, hospitals keep saving lives, neighborhoods stay lit up, and buildings stay standing strong. That's all you, making it happen.
THE TRADESTER.
A TRADESTER is a skilled tradesperson who’s not afraid to dive in and get their hands dirty. You go the extra mile, and put your blood and sweat into every job to make sure it's done right. A TRADESTER doesn't just punch in and punch out. A TRADESTER puts his or her heart into their crafts because they are passionate about work done to to highest level of quality and it's done with integrity.
When you’re a TRADESTER, you’re part of a tight-knit, hard-working community of professionals who hustle hard and are proud of their craft.
Skills Pay the Bills.
Skilled trade jobs will never be 100% replaced by AI. They won’t ever be overshadowed by technology. Think about this when you’re considering entering the job market. Look around. We need skilled trade workers to fix our crumbling infrastructures, install new utilities, and source renewable energy. AI will never completely replace that.
For the Next Generation
If you're still in high school, you're probably getting the message that college is the only way to advance. However, that is not the only way to gain a satisfying, lucrative career. Traditional college is not for everyone and that’s OKAY. The trade school path could be your ticket to making a proud, meaningful living.
Plenty of trade jobs offer solid paychecks, benefits, job security, career advancement, and retirement plans.
You don't have to spend years and tens of thousands of dollars at a traditional college. In the trades, you can dive into your training and start clocking full-time hours way quicker than you'd wrap up a university degree. Plus, forget about drowning in student debt—start picturing yourself saving up for that dream house or cruising around in your own wheels instead.
