Junior Trades Academy is a hands-on program where kids learn foundational real-world skills like carpentry, basic electrical concepts, plumbing fundamentals, measuring, tool safety, and problem-solving. This is not a craft class or observation-based learning. Kids actively build, practice, and create.

The program is desgned for ages approaching 7 and up, with parent discretion. Children should be able to follow instructions, work independently, and safely use age-appropriate tools in a small group setting.

Yes. Junior Trades Academy is a drop-off program designed for independent, curious kids. To maintain safety, focus, and a productive workshop environment, parents, siblings, and observers are not able to remain on-site during sessions.

Students will be introduced to:

• Basic carpentry and measuring

• Safe tool use and workshop practices

• Introductory electrical concepts (low-voltage & age-appropriate)

• Plumbing fundamentals

• Problem-solving, planning, and follow-through

Skills are taught through guided, hands-on projects.

Groups are intentionally kept small to prioritize safety, instruction quality, and individual attention.

Program pricing will be shared with families on the waitlist once schedules and formats are finalized. Tuition will reflect small group sizes, hands-on instruction, materials, and the time required for quality, safety-focused teaching.

Junior Trades Academy is located in Youngsville, NC. Exact address details are shared with enrolled families.

We are currently in the planning and setup phase. Families on the waitlist will receive first access to schedules, program formats, and enrollment details.

No. Junior Trades Academy is an educational enrichment program focused on foundational skill-building, exposure, and confidence - not trade certification or apprenticeships.
