Built with the employers who hire our graduates
Ironbridge Trade Institute opened in a converted freight depot fourteen years ago with two welding booths and a plumbing bench borrowed from a contractor down the road. It now runs seven programs out of a 40,000 square foot shop floor.
Fourteen regional employers sit on our program advisory board and review our curriculum twice a year, because a certification only matters if the people hiring for it trust where it came from.
A dedicated placement coordinator works every graduating class through interviews and apprenticeship openings, and stays in touch for a year after graduation to track outcomes honestly.
Where graduates go to work
Graduates place with regional manufacturers, mechanical contractors and utility crews through direct hire and through registered apprenticeship pipelines that continue training on the job.
Placement support does not end at graduation: resume review, mock interviews with hiring employers, and first-pick notice on apprenticeship openings as they come in.
