VoTechWorks is free schooling in the trades.
Ninety programs across eight trade families — building, health, hospitality, manufacturing, technology, transportation, agriculture and public service, business — 888 courses and more than 6,600 lessons, every one of them written for its trade and mapped to the credential you will sit for. Tuition is complimentary, as our commitment to get America working: no strings after the semester.
Study on our app. backpocketworks.com puts the whole curriculum in your pocket — the readings, the key terms, the worked examples and eight practice questions on every lesson — so the shop floor, the bus and the kitchen table all count as class time.
Every program runs the same way. A universal core: safety, trade math and measurement, technical reading, the digital tools of the job. The trade itself, course by course. A capstone you build and defend. An externship — supervised hours on a real worksite with an employer evaluation — so you arrive at your internship already knowing the work. And exam preparation mapped to each area of your certification, with full mock exams, so you ace the requirements instead of guessing at them.
We built this for the student who wants a trade, a credential and a job, in that order, and does not want to pay for the privilege of learning to work.
