The Verified Trade Index (VTI) is a standardized system designed to measure and verify installer skill based on training, certifications, and industry experience. It helps create a more transparent and credible way for installers to showcase their professional development and qualifications.

You can complete your profile by logging into your TradeTap account and filling out your personal information, work experience, certifications, training history, and other requested details. The more complete your profile is, the more accurate and valuable your VTI becomes.

Training plays a major role in your VTI. Completing accredited trainings and certifications helps strengthen your profile, improve your verified skill history, and demonstrate continued professional growth within the industry.

Training opportunities can be found through the TradeTap Training Hub, where installers can explore upcoming trainings, certifications, workshops, and educational opportunities from participating industry training partners.

Your VTI may be visible to companies, hiring partners, and others within the TradeTap ecosystem depending on your participation within TradeTap programs such as Jumpstart or TradeTap Pro.

TradeTap Pro is a workforce and hiring platform built specifically for the trades. It helps companies connect with installers through verified profiles, workforce insights, training visibility, and structured hiring tools designed to reduce uncertainty in the hiring process. TradeTap Pro is a full subcontractor management platform that allows you to hire, publish work orders, manage your jobs, and pay, all in one platform.

The VTI helps reduce hiring risk by giving companies access to verified information about an installer’s training, certifications, and experience. Instead of relying solely on resumes or word-of-mouth, companies can make more informed hiring decisions backed by measurable skill data.
