The gap between graduation and employment is a black box

Most trade schools have no reliable way to track what happens after a student graduates. That makes it hard to improve programs, report to accreditors, and market to prospective students.

Surveys get 30% response
You send a graduate survey every year. Most never reply. The ones who do are already doing well. Your placement data is incomplete and biased.
No visibility after graduation
Once they leave, you have no idea who’s working, who’s struggling, or who found their first job through the connections you helped them build.
Placement data is manual and stale
Your team spends hours on phone calls and spreadsheets to assemble placement numbers. By the time the report is done, the data is months old.

Everything your career services team needs

TradeBench for Schools is a placement and outcomes platform — not just a job board. Your graduates get full platform access as part of the program.

School-verified credential

Your graduates are verified, not self-reported

When a graduate signs up through your school's link, their credential is automatically verified by your institution. It appears on their profile, in search results, and in trust path displays. Employers see institutional backing — not just a claim.

How it works

From setup to outcome tracking in five steps.

1

Become a founding partner

Fill out a 4-field form. Your co-branded signup page is live in under 2 minutes.

2

Share the link

Send your join URL to your graduating class — current year and past grads — via email, LMS, or in person.

3

Graduates sign up

Each graduate creates a profile with your school’s verified credential automatically attached.

4

They build their network

Graduates connect with classmates (instant network) and are discoverable by established trades looking for crew.

You track outcomes

Your dashboard shows connections, opportunities, and placements in real time — no surveys needed.
