Forge for crews, trade schools, unions and job portals
Tools for the peopleyou serve.
You already reach people who build, fix, drive, plan and analyze. Forge gives each of them small, clear tools for the jobs they do every day, with the assumptions behind every number.
Who it's for
For anyone who already helps people work.
Job portals and job boards
Your visitors are carpenters, drivers, electricians and engineers. Give them a tool for the work they already do, next to the jobs they're looking at.
Staffing and recruitment agencies
Associates who turn up with the right numbers do better on site. Forge puts the everyday calculations in their pocket.
Apprenticeship programs, trade, CDL and technical schools
Apprentices and students learn the math in class. Forge gives them the same calculations, with the assumptions shown, for their first year on the job.
Unions, trade groups and communities
Facebook groups, forums, locals and associations: a free tool to share in a post, with nothing to install and no account needed.
Career coaches and outplacement firms
People moving into a trade need to work like they've done it before. Forge shows the calculations each role uses.
Employers and crews
Give the whole crew the same tools and the same assumptions, so the numbers on site match the numbers in the office.
Ways to work together
Start free. Grow when it works.
Most partners start by sharing a free tool or running a pilot. Sponsored seats are there when you want to give Forge to your people outright.
Share the free tools
Link your people's free tools from your site, posts or newsletter. They open without an account. We send you the right tools for your trades, with ready-to-use wording.
Run a 7-day pilot
The roles your people work in, each with all of its tools, for up to 25 of your people for 7 days, set up by us, with a 20-minute call to start and a check-in mid-week. Nothing renews.
Give your people a year of tools
A year of the roles your people work in, each with all of its tools, for each person, from 10 people. We invoice you, and access opens once it's paid.
US$69 per person a year for 10 to 49 people, US$49 from 50.
Whichever way you choose, you get your own member code and link, so you can see how many of your people joined. Counts only, never who.

FAQ
Partner questions.
Ask us anything about your people's trades.
How will we know how many of our people joined?
Every partner gets its own member code and a link to share. Anyone who arrives through your link, or types your code when they sign up, is counted for you. We can tell you how many joined and how many went on to pay for Forge: counts only, never names or emails.
Can we share the free tools today?
Yes. Every role has a free tool that opens without an account. Link any of them from your site, post or newsletter. Telling us helps us send you the right ones and wording for them.
What does the pilot need from us?
A named contact, the trades or fields your people work in, and a way to share a sign-up link with up to 25 of them. We open the roles they work in (for example Electrician, HVAC technician or Truck driver), each with all of its tools, whichever industry a tool comes from, for 7 days by hand, and check in with you mid-week.
We have more than 25 people. What does the pilot cover?
Pick one class, crew or cohort of up to 25 for the 7 days. If it works for them, sponsored seats cover everyone else, from 10 people. Tell us your numbers in the form and we'll plan it with you on the call.
Can high school students use Forge?
Yes, the free tools: every role's free tool opens without an account, so students of any age can use them in class. Accounts, pilot places and seats are for people 18 and over, as our Terms require. Tell us about your program and we'll point you to the free tools that fit it.
Can we pay with a purchase order?
Sponsored seats are invoiced, never charged to a card, so we can put your purchase order number on the invoice. Send it, with any vendor or supplier forms your school, local or company needs, to customers@norventus.com.
How do sponsored seats work?
You choose how many people (at least 10) and the roles they work in, we send an invoice, and each person gets a year of every role you chose, each with all of its tools, once it's paid. You can add seats later at the same rate.
Can we trust the numbers?
Every tool shows its formula's assumptions and limits next to the result. They are planning aids: codes, engineers, manufacturers and on-site measurements have the last word.
Do you see our people's work, or do we?
Neither of us shares it. What a person saves in Forge is theirs, and only their own account can open it. A partner never sees anyone's saved work, and we never sell or share personal data.
Who are we talking to?
Adi, COO at Norventus, and the small team that builds Forge, Beacon and Watch Tower.
