Trade hiring is broken
Schools don't know which employers need workers. Employers can't find students with the right certifications. Everyone's guessing. Meanwhile, 650,000 trade jobs go unfilled every year.
Students apply blind
Sending the same resume to 50 employers hoping someone bites. No signal on fit, no feedback loop.
Employers hire on hope
A resume says "welding experience." Does that mean MIG? TIG? Structural? They don't know until day one.
Schools can't prove ROI
Federal funding requires placement data. Most schools track it in spreadsheets — if they track it at all.
From enrollment
to employment
Three phases. Zero guesswork. The pipeline closes the gap between learning a trade and landing a job.
Build & Track
Students create profiles with real skills data — proficiency levels, certifications in progress, availability. Not a resume. A living document that updates as they learn.
Match & Score
Our engine scores every student-job pair across six dimensions: geographic proximity, skill fit, reliability, urgency, availability, and pay compatibility. Weighted. Transparent. Auditable.
Place & Report
Employers manage a visual candidate pipeline. Every placement generates federal-grade ROI metrics — time to placement, cost effectiveness, program suitability — automatically.
The reliability score that no one else has
Every other hiring platform lets candidates self-report. Forge tracks real attendance data, instructor endorsements, and certification progress. Employers see who actually shows up.
