About Us
Who We Are!
A group of parents and educators who recognize that not everyone should or could attend college. We strive to promote awareness of careers for non-college bound students. Holding our first Trade Fair in the Spring of 2017, we sought out local businesses to share their expertise and experience with high school students in hopes of sparking an interest in a life long career path. Incorporated as a non-profit in late 2018, TradeUp Loudoun works with the community and schools as a facilitator of programs which support non-college bound youth.

Trade Fairs
At Loudoun Valley High School
Students helped plan the trade fair in 2018 for their capstone project. Local business friends Tom Forman from Beckstrom Electric and Bernadette from the Aviation Institute of Maintenance, as well as Delegate Dave LaRock, joined us at this event to promote the trades and local businesses!
