Starter Toolkits

 The right tools can change everything.
A starter toolkit provides the essential equipment students need to launch a successful career in the trades — setting them up for confidence, skill-building, and real-world opportunities from day one.

Why it matters:
For students just starting out, the right tools can mean the difference between success and struggle. We believe no student should miss out on a great opportunity because they can't afford the basics.

How toolkit grants work:
Starter toolkits are awarded alongside our scholarships or donated through the generosity of community sponsors, unions, and local businesses.

Want to help?
You can sponsor a full toolkit, donate new tools, or contribute toward giving a future trades professional the strong start they deserve.
