Hector Resendez - Trade School Secrets

I've scaled 2 schools. Now, I help trade & vocational schools scale enrollments with proven out-of-the-box strategies. I hold a PhD (Public High School Diploma)

Well, now that we've zoomed by 10k followers... let me reintroduce myself.

I’m not a policy guy.
I’m a builder who learned the system by getting my hands dirty.

I’ve started businesses, made mistakes, burned time and money, and figured things out the hard way.
Somewhere along the way, I realized the biggest leverage point wasn’t another app or funnel.

It was helping people get skills that lead to real jobs.
Now I build and advise trade schools.
I work with workforce boards.
I help founders turn “training programs” into actual pipelines to employment.

Here’s the truth from inside the machine:

The trades aren’t dying.
They’re being ignored.

And while we argue about college ROI, every city is quietly short on the people who keep the lights on, water running, and systems working.

If you’re into skills over status and building things that actually matter, welcome.

$250,000 a year fixing equipment that rides on railroad tracks.

Railroad maintenance machines, railcar components and specialized track equipment break just like everything else.

But you can’t exactly drop them off at your local mechanic.

Specialized technicians travel to rail yards and industrial sites to repair them.

Imagine averaging $2,500 per job and completing just 2 jobs a week.

That’s $250,000/year in revenue over 50 weeks.

One specialized repair business. Expensive tools. Serious training and safety requirements.

Here’s what I find hilarious.

We spend billions building transportation infrastructure, but almost nobody talks about the small businesses keeping the equipment running.

Would you rather own 2 rental properties or a niche repair company that nobody in your neighborhood even understands?

@Andrew_Swirsky I'm listening...

[Hector Resendez - Trade School Secrets @TS_Secrets]

Every Thursday, my kids’ school encourages students to wear their favorite college T-shirt.

Texas A&M. Texas Tech. OU. Baylor.

Cool tradition, but I have a question.

When are we going to have TRADE SCHOOL THURSDAY?

Wear your favorite HVAC, welding, electrical, plumbing, or diesel mechanic shirt.

We keep telling kids college isn’t the only path, but from elementary school on, we’re already pushing them in that direction.

And with the cost of college today, we should probably be talking a whole lot more about ROI.

Who decided we should celebrate colleges every week but rarely celebrate the skilled trades?

Would you support a Trade School Thursday at your kids’ school, or am I overthinking this?

For all my new followers, here's a reminder of what I actually do.

I help people start, fix, and scale trade schools.

I help existing school owners increase enrollment and access workforce funding.

I help employers build their own training academies and tap into programs like WIOA, OJT, and IWT.

I've built schools, scaled them, and made plenty of mistakes along the way.

I share what I've learned for FREE.

The skilled trades are booming, and I'm helping build the schools that train the next generation.
