How can I find skilled trade job boards for post-high school opportunities?

I'm considering going into a skilled trade after high school instead of college. Does anyone know of any good job boards where I could search for positions or apprenticeships in different trades?

Sure, there are several job boards out there that focus on skilled trades. Here are a few to get you started:

1. Trade Hounds: This is a platform that targets skilled trade jobs, including apprenticeships. It's designed specifically for tradespeople, so it can be a good place to start your search.

2. iHireConstruction: While it's targeted more so toward the construction industry, a number of skilled trades job listings in fields like plumbing, carpentry, and electrical work can also be found here.

3. HVAC Jobs Center: If heating, ventilation, and air conditioning is more your speed, this job board is dedicated specifically to HVAC jobs.

4. RoadTechs: A board that focuses mainly on jobs in the road tech industry, it includes numerous skilled trade jobs in other sectors too.

5. SkillPointe: This site is a great resource for those interested in learning and working in skilled trades. In addition to job boards, SkillPointe also provides training resources and career path information.

6. Indeed: While it's not specifically focused on trades, this general job board has a wide range of skilled trades jobs from across the country. You can filter results to focus on the type of trade job you're interested in.

Remember, you can also look into apprenticeship programs, which provide opportunities to learn a trade while also earning a wage. The U.S. Department of Labor has a great resource called Apprenticeship.gov where you can find registered apprenticeships. Finally, local trade unions often have job boards, training programs, or apprenticeships, so you may want to reach out to them in your area.

I hope this helps and best of luck with your search.
