Trade and Industry Classes through FCPS ACE

Due to a growing shortage of skilled workers, jobs in fields like manufacturing, construction, and repair are in high demand and less likely to be outsourced or replaced by automation. Skilled trades offer competitive salaries that can rival or exceed those of white-collar positions, and are less likely to be replaced by artificial intelligence. Many skilled tradespeople can advance to start their own businesses, providing freedom and higher income potential, along with the personal satisfaction of working with your hands, solving real-world problems, and seeing the direct, tangible results of your labor.

FCPS ACE offers in-person or flexible online, self-paced classes that accommodate your busy schedule and learning style. Our innovative format provides 24/7 access to a wide range of engaging courses, such as "Foundations of Plumbing”, " Electric Vehicle Fundamentals", “Home Inspection Certificate” and much more. There are even Virtual Reality classes that give you "hands-on" experience from anywhere, anytime. With the ability to start and complete classes at any time, you can learn new skills, pursue your passions, and secure a career that works for you.
