Mobile simulation training for skilled trades workers and employers
SkillCat trains skilled trade workers on mobile through simulation-based content, having reached over 300,000 users across hundreds of companies. The hiring mix—heavily weighted toward design (5 roles) with emerging backend and marketing capacity—reflects active investment in visual identity and production infrastructure; concurrent projects on brand relaunch and in-person video content suggest a shift from pure app-based delivery toward blended, higher-touch training experiences.
