Good to know.
When can my business start using Wayforge?
Wayforge launches in 2027. Join the waitlist as an employer to be the first to know.
How is Wayforge different from a job board or staffing agency?
A job board shows who applied today, and a staffing agency fills one role. Wayforge shows people's progress over time, from school through apprenticeship and licensing, so you can get to know future hires early.
Which trades will I be able to hire for?
Wayforge starts with electrical, plumbing and HVAC, and its career guides cover 21 trades, including welding, carpentry, auto and diesel repair, machining, line work, solar and wind.
Can I contact students under 18?
No. People aged 13 to 17 never appear in employer search and can't be messaged by employers.
Are hours and credentials on Wayforge official?
A Career Passport is a personal record its owner controls, backed by evidence like certificates and references. Official apprenticeship hours and licenses still come from the program sponsor and the state licensing board.
