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.

Graduate outcome dashboard
See how your graduates are doing in real time: connections made, opportunities received, quotes submitted, and jobs landed.
Verified institutional credentials
Every graduate gets a "Trained at [School] — [Program]" badge that’s institution-verified, not self-reported. Visible on their profile and in search.
Co-branded signup pages
Each school gets a dedicated /join/[your-school] page with your branding. Share one link with your graduating class.
Bulk cohort onboarding
Invite an entire graduating class at once. Graduates sign up, connect with classmates, and form an instant network.
Quarterly placement reports
Automated reports summarizing graduate activity and outcomes. Use them for accreditation reporting, KPI tracking, and recruitment marketing.
Pro accounts included
Every graduate in your cohort gets full TradeBench Pro access — unlimited opportunities, priority in discovery, and full network visibility.

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

We set up your school

We create your school profile, co-branded signup page, and verified credential configuration.

2

You share the link

Send your co-branded signup URL to your graduating class 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.

5

You track outcomes

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