01The problem

Trade hiring is broken

Schools don't know which employers need workers. Employers can't find students with the right certifications. Everyone's guessing. Meanwhile, 650,000 trade jobs go unfilled every year.

Students apply blind

Sending the same resume to 50 employers hoping someone bites. No signal on fit, no feedback loop.

Employers hire on hope

A resume says "welding experience." Does that mean MIG? TIG? Structural? They don't know until day one.

Schools can't prove ROI

Federal funding requires placement data. Most schools track it in spreadsheets — if they track it at all.

02How it works

From enrollment
to employment

Three phases. Zero guesswork. The workflow closes the gap between learning a trade and landing a job.

01

Build & track

Students upload a resume or complete a guided profile with school, program, experience, credentials, availability, and job preferences.

02

Connect & apply

Schools build direct relationships with verified employers. Students see relevant openings with clear reasons—skills, credentials, location, availability, and pay.

03

Hire & report

Employers follow clear candidate decisions from review to hire. Every placement writes the outcome data schools need for federal reporting — time to placement, starting wage, program ROI — automatically.

03Why TradeHired

The missing network between school and work

Trade schools should not have to beg staffing agencies to place graduates. TradeHired gives students ownership of their profile, schools a direct employer network, and employers a complete hiring workflow.

Founding cohort, now forming

We're onboarding the first trade schools and employers now. Founding partners run the full student-to-hire workflow free, shape the school and employer experience their region needs — and their mark goes on this sheet.

Reserved — founding partner marks

This zone stays empty until the proof is real. That's the point.
