Company mission
To build tools that enhance every aspect of finding a career in the world of Skilled Trades like Electricians, Plumbers, Carpenters, and HVAC technicians that keep our country and economy running.
Our take
Classet, a Chicago-based recruiting and training software company, aims to transform the skilled trades industry with its platform. Launched in 2022, Classet is dedicated to bridging the skills gap and improving upward mobility for blue-collar workers.
By offering tools like career quizzes, short-form videos, career path comparisons, and a streamlined application process, Classet enhances the career search experience for job seekers and students in the trades. The platform's initial focus on the construction trades, addressing nearly 700,000 current job openings, positions it as a valuable asset for businesses in an industry where talent acquisition is traditionally challenging.
With the closure of a recent seed round, Classet is well-equipped to scale its platform and further enhance the skilled trades sector. The funding will enable the company to expand its product offerings, connect more employers with top talent, and contribute to the growth of its skilled trades workforce.
