About SkillsTrader

Our Story

Built for the Trades, by the Trades

Our mission is to bring tradespeople and industry professionals together, in an online environment. To keep pace and pave the way for the future of skilled trades. 

SkillsTrader was developed by a seasoned multi-shop owner in the automotive industry. After years of running his shops, he gained first-hand experience with the struggles facing employment in the automotive industry. So, along with software engineers, developers and designers, he started a software company committed to building an ecosystem full of resources and opportunities across all trades.
