Our communities need more skilled tradespeople.

Be part of the solution.

How can partnering with the Trades + Tech Education Foundation benefit your business and the skilled trades as a whole?

Talent Pipeline Development

Trades + Tech can provide access to students being trained in specific trades and technical skills. In turn, businesses gain a pipeline of potential employees who possess the skills they need, reducing their recruiting costs and helping to address labor shortages.

Funding and Resources

By offering financial support to the Foundation through scholarships, donations, equipment, or facility resources that help bolster various programs, businesses can receive community visibility, branding opportunities, or even tax benefits.

Internships and Apprenticeships

Trades + Tech facilitates opportunities for students to gain real-world experience and hands-on training. We seek to develop opportunities to connect students to employers. Businesses benefit by having early access to talent, shaping their training, and getting additional support through apprenticeships and internships.

Industry-Relevant Curriculum

Trades + Tech gains insights and feedback from businesses to ensure that the educational programs we support are aligned with current industry needs. We may have processes to gather that type of feedback at scale and share it with educational institutions. In short, this offers the business community the opportunity to help shape the curriculum, ensuring that students are learning relevant and up-to-date skills that meet workforce demands.

Joint Marketing and Branding Opportunites

Trades + Tech can help businesses enhance their public image by promoting their support of education and workforce development, whether it be through our website or other events. This partnership can lead to increased visibility and credibility for both the Foundation and businesses, especially when highlighted in marketing campaigns or community events.

Advancement of Trades and Technical Fields

By working together, Trades + Tech and businesses can contribute to elevating the perception and viability of trades and technical careers. Businesses can subsequently benefit from a greater pool of skilled workers, and the Foundation achieves its mission of supporting trade education, making the fields more attractive to new generations.
