Trade School Growth (Validated Insights)

[Editor's note: This story is not meant to support attendance at any trade schools or beauty schools.  We recommend that all consumers do their homework, consider all viable options, before choosing any institution or field of study.]  

Validated Insights will release a new, updated report on trade schools, on or about Tuesday, March 18 – the quarterly update to the report first published in October. Like the October report, it includes updated data on trade school enrollments and revenue, including projections.

New in this report is state-by-state data on trade schools and a deeper look at the Beauty & Wellness submarket of vocational schools. For example:

  • Trade School enrollment growth is projected to accelerate 6.6% annually through 2030, significantly faster than all higher education enrollment growth.
  • Trade school enrollment is underreported and is actually 4.3 million students.
  • Trade school public valuations skyrocketed 49.8% from Jan 2024 to Jan 2025.
  • Beauty & Wellness schools are a $2.2 billion market, representing 13% of the trade school market, and are projected to grow at 4.8% annually.
