Did You Know?

There is a growing concern that fewer people are pursuing a trade, creating a critical shortage of adequately trained and competent skilled workers. As the baby boomer generation continues to retire and leave the workforce, a lack of qualified candidates to step into vacant trade positions could severely impact economic growth.

Now is the time to build a career and earn competitive pay as a skilled tradesman or tradeswoman. In the United States, qualified, skilled tradespeople make an average of $50,000 annually? Fewer people are pursuing a trade and there is a demand for more skilled workers in America. Learn more about our programs and how to enroll today.

Testimonials

“While in high school I always thought that football was the only thing that I had as a great learning experience for life, but I was wrong.  Mr. Brown’s carpentry class has helped me view the world from a completely different perspective.  The main thing that we were taught was that in today’s world it is best to have experience in different work fields.  With different working experiences you will always have something to fall back on.  Knowing that now, I continue to try new things that will help me in the future.”

Jacquan H., Richmond, Virginia

“Carpentry has really impacted my life, as it can anyone else who takes the course.  I was able to finish the course with two certifications.  The benefits far exceed the average person’s perception of it.  The skills you learn will help you throughout the rest of your life.  Other fields of study like math, science and even engineering seem a bit easier after taking this course.  Take my brother for example, he is now in college majoring in precision machinery and is doing great.  He credits a lot of his success in that field to his prior knowledge of carpentry.”

Tyran O., Richmond, VA

“Participating in John Brown’s carpentry class was truly a remarkable experience.  As a public school teacher taking a night class, the class was well organized, informative, and true a hands-on experience. With building a tool shed, I learn how to nail, paint, and seal.  These skills enable me to replace the boards on my front, paint my bathroom, and seal my countertop in the kitchen.  I can truly say that I learned a lot taking his class.”

Tavonda C., Richmond, Virginia

“Mr. Brown’s carpentry class has taught me skills that not only proved effective in the classroom, but also in the workforce.  His class has assisted me in adjusting in the working world and opened up an extra career field that I never thought about going into that I am capable of doing.”
