3 Reasons God May Be Calling You To A Catholic Trade College

Learn about St Joseph The Worker College: https://www.collegeofstjoseph.com/ In this video, Dr. Jacob Imam (President, College of St. Joseph the Worker) shares three compelling reasons why God may be calling you to a Catholic trade college—and why craftsmanship matters now more than ever. 3 Reasons to Choose the Trades (with a Catholic vision): Freedom from debt: Too many graduates leave private colleges with around $35,000 in loans. In the skilled trades, you can earn while you train, pairing rigorous academics with hands-on formation so you don’t start adult life underwater. Become a leader in a field that needs you: There are hundreds of thousands of unfilled journeyman roles, with three retiring for every one entering. Beyond the numbers, the trades need craftsmen who understand materials, methods (traditional + modern), and standards—people who can raise the bar. Work that’s spiritually meaningful: From Adam’s charge to “till and keep” to Christ the carpenter, the trades reveal a uniquely transformative vocation—shaping raw material into goods that serve family, parish, and community. A craftsman’s prayerful creativity is literally imprinted in the work. About the College of St. Joseph the Worker Our students earn a Bachelor of Arts in Catholic Studies.
