Company Overview
The Idea’l Trade Institute is leading the construction education industry and is the first company to offer a fully integrated ground-up system that trains students in every aspect of home construction. Idea’l has built a comprehensive curriculum that uses the construction of tiny and modular homes to build long-term memories and improve working memories, thus improving the overall quality of life for its graduating students.
As part of Idea’l’s market strategy, it started in the construction industry and will continue to grow into many industries rapidly. Construction is essential to all other industries and is an essential building block of learning; it is the foundation of Idea’l.
In January of 2022, after 16 years of assembling the management team and developing a proprietary curriculum, Idea’l began to offer students full continuity of learning construction education. Idea’l is already recognized as the leader in construction education and will continue to have exponential growth.
