About Skilled Trades Path

Skilled Trades Path exists for one reason: to help people find their way into high-paying skilled trade careers. There is a massive shortage of skilled tradespeople in this country, and at the same time, millions of people are looking for stable, well-paying careers that do not require a four-year degree and six figures of student debt.

This site bridges that gap. Every article on Skilled Trades Path is a free, in-depth career guide covering real salary data, training requirements, certification paths, and honest advice about what it takes to succeed in the trades.

About Anthony Calhoun

My name is Anthony Calhoun. I have spent years in the automotive and skilled trades industry. I have seen firsthand how a career in the trades can change someone's life. I have also seen how hard it can be to find clear, honest information about getting started.

That is why I built this site. No fluff, no upsells, no generic advice copied from a government website. Just real career guidance from someone who understands the trades.

Other Projects

I also run APEX Tech Nation, a platform for professional automotive technicians with diagnostic tools, technical articles, and career resources built by techs, for techs.

Through AWC Consulting, I work with automotive shop owners on technician retention, shop culture, and building workplaces where skilled techs actually want to stay.
