Help your participants land in the trades — not just finish a program

Partner with TradeBench so your program participants build real professional connections — and you get verifiable placement outcomes.

Training hours don't equal employment

Your programs deliver real skills. But when funding runs out and the program ends, participants are on their own. The trades run on relationships — and most program graduates don't have any yet. TradeBench bridges that gap by giving participants a professional network while they're still in your program.

What your agency gets

Outcome tracking that's verifiable

See real placement data — connections made, opportunities received, and jobs landed — verified by network activity, not self-reported surveys.

Verified program credentials

Participants carry a verified badge from your agency or program. Employers trust it because it's institutional, not a line on a resume.

Cohort networking

Participants connect with each other and with local businesses during the program. They graduate with a real professional network, not just training hours.

Targeted trade matching

Participants are matched with opportunities relevant to their trade and location, through trusted connections — not job board algorithms.

Built for the programs you run

TradeBench works with any government-funded trades program that wants better outcomes for participants.

Pre-apprenticeship programs

Give participants professional visibility before they start their apprenticeship. They arrive with connections, not cold.

Summer employment programs

Help students find trade placements through trusted local networks. Track outcomes in real time instead of waiting for end-of-program surveys.

Workforce development initiatives

Connect job seekers entering the trades with established businesses who need help — through trust paths, not cold applications.

Why TradeBench — not a job board

Job boards connect strangers. TradeBench connects people through trust. Every opportunity on the platform flows through verified relationships, so your participants aren't competing with thousands of anonymous applicants — they're being introduced through a network that vouches for them.
