About TradePath

We believe the 4-year degree isn't the only path. We built a tool to show the real ROI of skilled trades in Texas.

TradePath was founded with a simple mission: to bring transparency to the trade school market. For too long, students have been pushed towards expensive university degrees without knowing the lucrative, stable, and essential career paths available in the skilled trades.
