Help Shape Our 2026 Programs
We’re seeking corporate, community, and nonprofit partners to help shape, support, and expand the programs we can offer in 2026. Your expertise, resources, equipment, and real-world insight help ensure our youth build skills that matter.

Whether you’re interested in co-designing a program, hosting apprenticeships, supporting a student-run venture, or sponsoring equipment and materials—we’d love to connect.
Why Partner Support is Critical to our Success
Strategic Partnerships (corporate, community, like-minded non-profits) support Trim Tab's unique, highly effective model in four essential ways:
​​
1. Staying Current with Technology
Partners help us keep programs aligned with emerging tools, AI advancements, and real-world applications that evolve faster than traditional curriculum cycles.
2. Embedding Entrepreneurship Throughout the Pathway
Industry insight helps us create authentic mini-manufacturing, production, and early business experiences that reflect how real companies operate.
​
3. Aligning Learning With Workforce & Community Needs
Partners ensure our curriculum reflects real-time skill requirements, workplace expectations, and sector-specific opportunities.
4. Expanding Opportunities That Grow With Students
Partnerships open doors to mentoring, apprenticeships, specialized training, and job pathways—opportunities that evolve as our students develop.
