The homepage of Forgeco.com describes Forge’s overall mission, who we are, and what we do at a high level. In summary, Forge is a whole new kind of construction company that is solving the challenge of the disappearing trades workforce by building our own school to train the trades workers of tomorrow. After they graduate, we give them full-time jobs with competitive wages, full benefits, and a 401(k) — and we equip them with new technology that helps them work more efficiently.

The trades workforce is vital and it's shrinking by the day.

Nearly 50% of all trades workers will retire this decade and there is already a 7.5% decrease of carpenters since 2011, but the industry will need 2.2 million additional tradespeople in the next two years to meet demand.
