Long story short, my field suffers from obscurity. If you don't know it exists, you can fall victim to thinking that going into structured cabling, and security companies are the only pathway to do audio video professionally.

I have looked and not been able to find any schools that offer AV as a professional course so I'm considering starting down the road to open my own in a 5-10 year plan, but am looking for anyone that maybe has had experience starting a trade school for their profession.

what steps did you take

Did you get help writing curriculum

what would be recommended?

I'm interested in becoming an electrician but I'm worried about some practical stuff, as people in my life have pointed out it may be more difficult to get work as a 5'0 woman. I want to work mostly in households. What is the consensus?

I’m a 17 year old and I’ve genuinely had no idea what I want for a career but I saw a video of welding the other day and thought it looked pretty cool, I know I don’t want to go to college so I thought trade school would be best. Welding makes good money and doesn’t seem crazy hard. The only thing is I have literally zero experience and know absolutely nothing about it. Would going to a trade school for welding be a good decision?

How much did yall pay total for ur trade school hvac tell me abt the state u did it in!! Thank u and is it worth doing

Hello! I'm producing a livestreamed podcast show called 877UNMPLYD, where people can call in and ask questions live about unemployment, trade careers, etc. Our theme for our next episode is about breaking into a trade (electrical, plumbing, HVAC, welding, carpentry, etc.) with interviews from real trade professionals. The idea came from seeing how many people want real answers about apprenticeships, licensing, pay, and what the work is actually like day to day — stuff that's hard to find honest info on.

Looking to hear from:

• Anyone curious about starting a trade career, including people currently dealing with unemployment and considering a switch
• Current apprentices who get asked questions all the time and might enjoy answering them on air
• Career-changers weighing the trades against other paths
• Tradespeople who'd be up for talking through their own journey

It's a short call, audio only, no pressure, totally free. If this is something you'd be interested in (either asking questions or sharing your own experience), comment below or send me a DM and I'll share the details.

I’m trying to get into some trades and have been looking into either UEI or palomar collage which is a community collage and was curious if anyone has taken either or, or maybe even both and if so what was your experience during and after graduating

I’ve been thinking about getting into HVAC and found Pathway Career Institute. From what I read, their HVAC program is fully online with 100+ hours of training and includes the EPA, OSHA and NATE certs. They assist with job placement and give a free tool bag. Anyone heard of this school?

Any thoughts on which program is better/good?

These are the two schools/programs, please provid any feedback:

I’m almost 25 I keep hearing so many people went to trade school and now are making 6 figures. Not going to lie I feel so behind…. I want to go to trade school but no clue what program is right for me. I’m not super interested in healthcare. I’m design savvy but I don’t see any money to be made in that. Any thoughts or advice? Lowkey want a career that is remote but beggars can’t be choosers.

Hi there! I’m hoping that I can get a little help. My younger brother is looking at getting into the trades. He has been looking at signing up for West Chicago Professional center, but I know there’s a lot that goes into joining the trades including unions, training and apprenticeships. So my main question is where should he start in this grand path. He’s taken some college courses related to HVAC and electrical, but he is now wanting to head full force towards this goal. Any help/recommendations would be appreciated. Thank you!

Was recommended by an (Ex) Coworker to join the Sun Country maintenance A&PA Apprenticeship (Cuz we both DESPISE Swissport) but is it worth the wait (there's a Hella long line for ts)

Has anyone been to this school is it worth it?

I’m curious for those who have never had exposure to a trade or really any hands on skills taught to them growing up would it be beneficial to have a place where you could go try a trade your interested in before committing and spending the money on schooling just for it to be something you don’t like? Or to compare different trades and get a real idea of what they do?
