Trade2Teach

Vocational talent, properly understood

Trade experience can become teaching experience.

Trade2Teach works with experienced tradespeople and vocational professionals who are curious about teaching, training or assessing — and with the colleges who need them.

What Trade2Teach is

The people who can teach a trade properly are already doing that trade. We ask them a few good questions, structure what they tell us, and give colleges an honest picture of the talent around them.

  • Talent Profiles, not CVs

    A structured picture of trade, experience and teaching interest — built from answers, not documents.

  • Consent at every step

    An introduction only happens when you have agreed to that specific one, and we keep the record.

  • Real market intelligence

    Colleges get a clear, aggregated view of the vocational talent around them before anyone is named.

How it works

Three steps, and we do most of the work

  1. 01

    Tell us about your trade

    A short guided set of questions — around five to eight minutes. No account, no password, no CV.

  2. 02

    We build your Talent Profile

    We turn your answers into a structured profile covering your trade, experience and teaching interest.

  3. 03

    We make the introductions

    When something genuinely fits, we ask you first. Nothing is shared with a college without your say-so.

The trades we work with

Skilled work, every discipline

From electrical and engineering to motor vehicle, welding and construction — if it is taught in a college workshop, we are interested in the people who do it.
