In The Trades With
The Student Employment Path

The STudent Employment Path (STEP) at Trade Smart College is our unique curriculum, built to help great people get started in the trades. In this Diploma program, students spend two months in class, followed by six months on an internship with one of our Trade Smart Certified companies. All of our companies insist that students learn a core set of professional skills before they teach them the technical skills on the job.

Spend two months in class learning the professional skills required to be a great trades employee.

Use those skills to earn a 6-month paid internship to complete your diploma.

Build the technical skills of your chosen trade in the real world, not in a lab, from fully qualified technicians.

Whether you’re a prospective student, a parent or a company, we want to hear from you and put you in touch with one of our team members as soon as possible. We feel it is important to answer your questions one-on-one, so you can make informed decisions about joining us on our mission to connect students and companies. Please fill out the form, and we will get back to you very soon.
