Why You Should Consider
a Career in the Trades
Pursuing a trade career can allow you to achieve financial independence and professional success through a flexible and rewarding career path. Jobs in the trades offer excellent earning potential. And, the prerequisite training requirements are often more cost-effective than four-year degrees!
Making a Difference Economically (MADE) is a non-profit organization that works to improve the lives of men in poverty through economic and social empowerment. By providing resources and support, we equip men with the skills to become self-sufficient and pursue a life of dignity. We know that our work can not only make a difference in individuals’ lives, but also in the communities they live in.
Our mission is to provide transformative programs that will help men break the cycle of poverty and move toward economic stability. We believe in a holistic approach that combines professional and entrepreneurial skills training, financial education, and successful life skills development. With the help of our dedicated team, we strive to enable and empower impoverished and undereducated men to reclaim their God-intended position of authority and service.
