Mission & Vision
Our Workmanship Program provides students a free introductory trades education taught by industry professionals. We offer students hands-on experience and exposure to careers in each of the key trades: general construction, masonry, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, welding, woodworking, tile, and automotive.
Our main facility is located in Paterson, NJ. This year we were granted the space and opportunity to expand the program to a second location!

Start Date:

Estimated Completion:
Fall 2026
Project Scope:
Converting a warehouse for the Workmanship Program, including a full kitchen and spaces for our courses: CPM, Welding, and Woodworking.
The Project
We are converting a warehouse into a new facility for trades training and mentorship. The finished space will include all new bathrooms, kitchen, prep spaces, as well as a woodshop and classrooms for each of our currently offered courses.
The woodshed was completed Fall 2025. We ran a shortened version of our Woodworking Course that fall to work out the kinks. This January we are launching full Woodworking and CPM courses in that location.
Meanwhile, construction continues on the space to prepare for a Welding Course. We hope to launch that in Fall 2026.
Expected Completion: Fall 2026
