Community
Your trade.
Your people.
Every trade has its own room. Ask a question, share what you know, and get to know the people you will work beside.
Trade Rooms
One room for each trade, and a General room for everyone. You can join other trades' rooms too.
Messages
Private chats and group chats with the people you connect with.
Contractors in the room
Contractors join the same rooms, with a Contractor tag beside their name.
The Plumber Trade Room. A sample conversation.
Real app screens. The names and messages are samples, and nothing you tap here is sent or saved.
The founder
Founded by an apprentice.
I'm Salman. I'm an apprentice, and I'm building Trades Hub.
I'm a plumbing apprentice in Edmonton. When I started, everything I needed was scattered: my hours in one place, job leads in another, and the people who could answer my questions somewhere else.
Trades Hub is my answer to that. One place where apprentices, tradespeople and contractors can find each other.
Salman, founder of Trades Hub
The waitlist
Be first on the crew.
Tell us your trade and city. We will email you the day Trades Hub is ready, and a few updates before then. Joining does not create an account.
- Starting in Edmonton
- For apprentices, tradespeople and the contractors who hire them
- Independent. Not part of AIT or the Alberta government.
Short answers
Questions.
Who is Trades Hub for?
At launch: apprentices, tradespeople and contractors, starting in Edmonton. Distributors, manufacturers and homeowners come later.
When can I get it, and is there an Android app?
Trades Hub is coming to iPhone on January 1, 2027. Android is planned and its date is not set yet. The waitlist email will tell you when each one is ready.
Do hours I log here count toward my ticket?
No. The app keeps your own record of the hours you work. Your official hours are still recorded the official way.
Is Trades Hub part of AIT or the government?
No. Trades Hub is independent. Your official apprenticeship record stays with Alberta's apprenticeship system.
Are the screens on this page real?
Yes. They are real screens from the app. The names and messages in them are samples, not real people.
Who can see me if I turn on Open to work?
Only contractors whose business Trades Hub has checked, and only if you are 18 or older. You choose which details show. They ask to connect and you decide.
Does joining the waitlist get me a job or an account?
No. It gets you an email when the app is ready and a few updates before then. Applying for a job in the app does not promise one: the contractor reviews each application and decides.
What will you do with my email?
Send you the launch email and a few updates. You can unsubscribe at any time. Details are in the privacy policy.
