The Blue Collar Virtual Trade School mission
People often ask why I founded The Blue Collar Virtual Trade School. The answer is simple: there's a significant shortage of qualified professionals to meet growing job market demand.
I experienced this firsthand as the owner of a successful residential service business, where finding skilled workers was a constant challenge. Today, I'm dedicated to helping employers nationwide by providing the training and resources needed to develop and hire qualified trades professionals.
