Housecall Pro Announces New Housecall Pro for Education Program

SAN DIEGO, CA — Housecall Pro, a software platform serving over 45,000 home service companies, has announced its new Housecall Pro for Education program. The program encompasses partnerships with trade schools across the nation to provide students with mentorship opportunities and software tools that position them for success in their skilled trade careers.

By incorporating Housecall Pro into trade school curricula, the program will furnish students with real-world experience, even before they properly enter the workforce. Trade school students gain insights into business operations and how software solutions are used by Pros today. 

Through Housecall Pro for Education, students can also connect with local Housecall Pros for mentorship, apprenticeships and job opportunities—bridging the gap between classroom learning and real-world business operations.

Workforce-Ready Graduates

“The demand for skilled trades professionals is growing rapidly, and Housecall Pro is committed to preparing students for the workforce by integrating real-world technology into trade school curriculums,” said Roland Ligtenberg, Co-Founder at Housecall Pro. “Our program ensures that graduates are workforce-ready with both technical expertise and modern business management skills, giving them a significant competitive advantage in today's evolving job market.”

Additional benefits of the program include certifications of completion, demonstrating that students have gained proficiency in the digital tools used by professionals across the home service sector—boosting their employability. Exclusive learning resources, such as free webinars and interactive coursework, are also available to help further hone students’ real-world skills.

Housecall Pro for Education has already been rolled out at trade schools across the country, with more than 100 students completing their certification. The program has been embraced not only by students, but by instructors.

“I liked how [Housecall Pro for Education] was able to expose the students not only to the dispatch software but also the insight into business operations,” said Jonathan Paracsi, Instructor at Polaris Technical Institute, one of the participating schools. “Hopefully, we can make this an annual training with my senior students.”
