THE PARENT TRADE GROUPS
Every trade deserves a place.
The map begins with broad families, then respects the specialized paths inside them. These groups are foundations—not walls. People can belong to as many rosters as their real capabilities require.

What capability are we missing?
The Trades Syndicate should never become a closed list written from the outside. It must grow by listening to the people who actually do the work.
No discipline is too established, too new, too local, or too unconventional to be considered.

THE FIRST PROVING GROUND
WeldRoster™
Welding gave The Trades Syndicate its first proving ground: profiles, capabilities, equipment, work, availability, trust, and connection inside one coherent Roster. The model now expands across human capability.
THE PLATFORM SPLIT
One ecosystem. Two clear doors.
The Trades Syndicate is the public home for trades, ideas, education, reporting, and expansion. The Roster is the member platform for identity, capabilities, work, credentials, and connection.
