KTA Partnerships

Grow together. Build together.

Kids Trades Academy partners with homeschool co-ops, microschools, businesses and community organizations across North Texas. This is our working directory of potential partners — a place we send families to discover great programs, and where great programs send families to find hands-on trades education.

Two ways to partner

Bring a workshop. Or build the workforce.

Community partners host KTA programs for their families. Industry partners sponsor the labs, tools and scholarships that keep the workshop running.

Community Partners

Co-ops, microschools & homeschool groups

KTA delivers the whole shop program — instructors, tools, materials, curriculum, safety systems and student Passports. Your community brings the students, the space and the schedule.

  • One-day workshops to full semester residencies
  • Mobile Trades Lab delivered to your site
  • Structured 32-week curriculum across 4 age tracks
  • Student KTA Skill Passports™ with real badges

Industry & Community Sponsors

  • Sponsor a Lab — name a workshop zone
  • Tools Partner — equip a professional tool station
  • Scholarship Partner — fund seats for local families
  • Workforce Partner — guest instructors and site visits

The North Texas partnership ecosystem

A working list of homeschool communities, co-ops, resource centers, directories and market models KTA is building with. We send families to their programs — they introduce our hands-on labs to theirs. Much bigger than selling classes.
