Guided by Forge

Schooling that pays *you*? That's an apprenticeship. Learn with your hands, keep the tools, and one day the crew is yours.

A day in this role

On a typical day you'll diagnose why a family's AC died in a heat wave, replace a failing part, and have them cool again by afternoon — every job is a small rescue with a clear, satisfying ending.
