No lectures, no gatekeepers—just a fair shot at success on your terms. It’s your work. Your skills. Your future. We’re here to back you.

  • "You make the case compellingly and I could not agree more. As the CHRO of a big defense and aerospace company, I know firsthand how hard it is to find prospective employees who are willing to learn a skilled trade. I therefore hope Thurgood Industries thrives and scales."
    Senior executive in aerospace & defense
  • "We work with companies all the time that are hiring skilled workers—and ‘finding’ them online is often difficult because they are not on LinkedIn. That’s why I think it is great you are building an online platform and community to connect with them."
    Owner, StaffBuffalo
  • "Practical hands-on knowledge is a key ingredient to successful innovation. While we hire a lot of PhDs in engineering, one of our highest-paid employees is a tech school grad. I started my journey as a carpenter—it was invaluable to me."
    Founder & CEO, Endeavour
