Found our Shop Classes through my conversation with Chris Koerner? This is the Blueprint we talked about.

Everything in the SCO Blueprint, plus a one-hour call with me to talk through your area, strategy, budget, and what getting started could look like for you.
Built from the system I use at VoSKILL in West Palm Beach, where I've taught shop skills to more than 500 kids ages 7+. both mobile and fixed-location classes.
SHOP CLASS OPERATORS COMMUNITY
You don't have to figure this out alone.
The Blueprint gives you the system I use. But once you start putting it into practice, you're going to have questions. I know I did.
The Shop Class Operators Community is where we can work through those questions together with other people building and running shop classes in their own communities.
Monthly calls with me. Bring your questions, problems, ideas, wins, and the stuff that isn't working.
The growing Blueprint library. Get the guides, new project plans, templates, checklists, and other resources I create as we keep building.
Learn from other operators. See what other people are trying, what's working in different areas, and what they'd do differently.
Help when you get stuck. Pricing, finding students, tools, projects, mobile classes, space, operations. Whatever you're working through.
I'm building this next.
I'm starting with the Blueprint. The Operators Community comes next.
If you're interested, add your name to the list. No payment and no commitment. I'll let you know when it's ready.
Hear How This Started
This is the conversation that started the Shop Class Operators.
I sat down with Chris Koerner to talk about how I started VoSKILL, how our youth shop classes work, what I learned along the way, and why I think this is something other people can build in their own communities.
If you found this page another way, this is a good place to hear the story behind the Shop Class Operators Blueprint.
