The career path

Every trade has a ladder. We show you the next rung.

Licensing rules differ by trade and by state. Wayforge lays out what your path looks like, step by step, so you never have to guess.

1

Student

Trade school, vocational program, or pre-apprenticeship.

2

Apprentice

Earn while you learn, logging hours on the job and in the classroom.

3

Journeyman

Licensed to work on your own after meeting your state's requirements.

4

Master

Top license in the trade. Run jobs, train others, or own the business.

Stage names and requirements vary by trade and state. Wayforge sources each pathway from the state licensing board. Your Wayforge log is a personal record you control. It does not replace official apprenticeship or licensing records.

Why the trades

One of the smartest moves you can make.

Demand is growing, the pay is strong, and you can start earning while you learn.
