Why we're here

Every time you turn on your faucet, water comes out.
‍
Every time you turn on your heat, warm air pours through the vents.

Every time you flip a lightswitch, the light turns on.

To most, these things just work - like magic. But behind every working light, every faucet, every air conditioner, there is a skilled tradesperson who installed it, who maintains it, who makes sure it works every time, all the time.

These skilled tradespeople - such as plumbers, electricians, HVAC techs, solar techs, welders, and carpenters - make the world work. Yet, the industry is facing a massive labor shortage. Over the next 10 years, nearly 50% of the workforce is going to reach retirement and there is no one ready to take their place.
