Along with a job board that is highly specialized to
each trade, the site releases weekly blog
posts and resources to support job seekers and employers
alike. Topics range from interview questions, to trade
school costs, to job description templates, and much
more.
“We got a qualified candidate who applied, interviewed
and hired within days of posting our job technician job
opening on the job board,” says Chris Barker, owner of
Elevation Mechanical. “ It was the easiest time we’ve
ever had hiring a new tech.”
In addition to the job board and hiring resources, Trade
Academy is launching a trade school scholarship fund
totalling $25,000 for the 2021-2022 school year.
Initially open to candidates in the HVAC/R industry,
students planning to enter HVAC/R trade school are
eligible to win one of ten $2,500 scholarships to use
towards their education.
In this day and age, young people are often told that
going to college for a four-year degree
is the only path to success and wealth. This is one of
the biggest reasons for the huge labor
shortage in the skilled trades. The Trade Academy
scholarship fund aims to tackle that shortage and
encourage more young people to start a career path that
will persevere through the economy’s ups and downs.
“There simply aren’t enough young people entering the
trades these days, which is contributing to the labor
shortage,” says Brian Ciciora, CEO of TrueWerk. “I see
business as
a platform for advancing humanity, not just profiting
from it, and we are proud to offer our
support to Trade Academy. TrueWerk will be decking out
all scholarship recipients with
brand new work wear as they start their technician
careers.”
The skilled trades are the backbone of the economy and
Trade Academy, along with its
founding sponsors Housecall Pro, WD-40, and TrueWerk,
are dedicated to playing their part
in filling the labor shortage and empowering the next
generation of technicians and business owners. Visit

job seeker
profile, or apply for the scholarship today.
