FAQ
What does the mentorship actually provide?A clear plan + accountability.
You get location-based trade pathways, a written 30-day strategy (applications, steps, timelines, backups), and monthly check-ins to keep you executing. This is career navigation and accountability — not hype.
Who succeeds in this program?People who take consistent action.
People who show up weekly, complete checklists, follow timelines, and are willing to be corrected. If you want someone else to do everything for you, this won’t work.
How personalized is the guidance?Built around your location + constraints.
Your strategy is built around where you live, your commute, your schedule, and your limitations. We narrow your options to realistic pathways and provide a clear step-by-step plan.
What kind of effort is expected?Simple weekly action steps.
Expect weekly progress: applications, documents, calls/emails, studying for entry tests, or completing prerequisites. The program is designed to keep you moving without overwhelm.
How often do we check in?Monthly check-ins + ongoing accountability.
Standard plan includes monthly check-ins and a clear weekly action focus. If you need higher-touch support, that can be added later once the core system is proven.
What trades or paths does this support?Skilled trades + apprenticeships.
We focus on trade and apprenticeship pathways (construction, industrial, utilities, transportation, IT where applicable). The goal is a stable income path without student debt.
Is this a good fit if I’m undecided?Yes — that’s one of the main reasons it exists.
If you’re unsure what trade fits, the program narrows you to viable local options and gives you a plan to test and pursue them.
