Why we can do this
TradesMade's founders combine real estate brokerage, legal, and development experience in one organization. Entity setup, contract review, and site questions are handled in house, so a graduate gets, in year one, the professional support most contractors don't find until year five.
For schools and programs
We report outcomes. Partner programs receive annual, deidentified reporting on enrollment, retention, business growth, hiring, and student work based learning placements with member businesses.
