Build your future, shape your world with
Trade Jobs Matter.
At Trade Jobs Matter, we are rewriting the story for young people looking to graduate high school and get a job in the skilled trades. We are showing young people that you don’t always need a degree to have a thriving career. Skilled trades like HVAC, Plumbing, Electrical, Welding, Hair Stylists, Mechanics, or public servants offer high paying in demand jobs that let you make a real impact. Trade Jobs Matter is a non-profit that is here to guide you with hands on training, mentorship with trade experts, and clear paths to job placement.
The U.S. faces a critical shortage of skilled workers, and our communities need young talent to step up. Through our program, students earn certifications, gain real-world experience, and land jobs with local employers. We’ve seen lives transformed, teens who once felt lost now proudly support their families as skilled tradespeople.
