Start a Shop class in your area
If you've thought about teaching kids how to use tools and work with their hands, I'll show you the system I use at VoSKILL to do it.
From tools and projects to pricing, finding students, and running classes.
Found our Shop Classes through my conversation with Chris Koerner on the Koerner Office Podcast? This is a Blueprint for how we build VoSKILL’s Shop Classes.
You don't have to figure this out alone.
The Blueprint gives you the system I use. But once you start putting it into practice, you're going to have questions. I know I did.
The Shop Class Operators Community is where we can work through those questions together with other people building and running shop classes in their own communities.
Monthly calls with me. Bring your questions, problems, ideas, wins, and the stuff that isn't working.
The growing Blueprint library. Get the guides, new project plans, templates, checklists, and other resources I create as we keep building.
Learn from other operators. See what other people are trying, what's working in different areas, and what they'd do differently.
Help when you get stuck. Pricing, finding students, tools, projects, mobile classes, space, operations. Whatever you're working through.
I'm building this next.
I'm starting with the Blueprint. The Operators Community comes next.
If you're interested, add your name to the list. No payment and no commitment. I'll let you know when it's ready.
What the SCO-community is saying.
"The Blueprint cut through all the noise. It took me from a bare enclosed cargo trailer to fully outfitted student workstations, real dimensional lumber projects, and our first class in a matter of weeks. The kids love it, the parents are thrilled, and the framework works."

"The Shop Class Operators Blueprint was extremely helpful in getting Measure Up Makers off the ground. We were just two busy professionals who had the germ of a similar idea kicking around for over a year, and after we heard Mike on a podcast that was the kick in the pants that we needed. Putting the blueprint to work, we were up and running with a website, project plans, and live class signups within a week!"
— Dom, Measure Up Makers, MI
“The Shop Class Blueprint is an incredible resource! We recently purchased it to help launch our own shop class for kids, and we’ve been so impressed with the thoughtful guides, well-structured lessons, and easy-to-follow format. It’s clear how much time, care, and hard work went into creating this program. We truly appreciate all the effort Mike poured into making hands-on learning more accessible for others!”
— Sarah & Aaron
