Skilled Trades

For the purposes of this website, we will organize and define “Skilled Trades” as the career and technical education clusters that pertain to Construction – both residential and commercial.

Opportunities and careers in the Skilled Trades, specifically in construction, have continued to skyrocket over the past several decades due to increased population growth, infrastructure growth, urban densification, and more. However, Skilled Trades have also been one plagued by a steady decline in qualified labor.

Toolkit is proud to have developed a series of training systems – both physical hands-on solutions as well as digital simulators and VR-ready training solutions – to prepare students with the needed skills of industry.

Our areas of focus and specialty include Construction, Carpentry, Plumbing, Solar, and HVAC.

  • Robotic Concrete 3D Printing

    3D print a house! Or a table, bench, or chair! Or perhaps a walking bridge or staircase! Introducing large-scale concrete 3d printing from TOOLKIT!

    Toolkit is proud to be the exclusive education provider of large-scale Concrete 3D Printing for Training and Research. In partnership with the industrial leader and pioneer in the field, Vertico, we are thrilled to bring high schools, career centers, technical colleges and universities one of the most exciting new technologies for construction, automation and robotics.

    Our system utilizes a high-precision industrial robot from ABB, equipped with state-of-the-art Concrete 3D Printing Technology, intuitive Control & Supervision Software, and Train-the-Trainer professional development.

    We offer several models, including single and bicomponent printheads, small-scale lab printers and full-sized industrial systems capable of printing a house!

  • Hydrostatic Transmission + Driving Simulator

    The MF500-HT-TSE is an instructor’s “dream-come-true” with respect to teaching state-of-the-art, electronically-controlled hydrostatic transmission systems – hands-on. It can even be driven as if it were on a construction site,  in real-time!

    Driving a skid-steer loader around a construction site and operating the MF500-HT-TSE in the lab amounts to the same thing – without the hazards!

    Designed for instructors who want to teach hydrostatic transmission and steering systems with the same components found in popular front-end loaders but without the safety hazards and physical limitations of operating a loaded, faulty skidsteer in a shop full of students.

    Teach basic concepts to advanced applications + troubleshooting in a classroom-friendly manner where students can gather around to see real-time symptoms of faults as you drive the simulator through a variety of scenarios.
