What we look for in a training partner…

We look for partners who share our belief that great training forges thinking technicians—not box
checkers and parts changers. The strongest partnerships are grounded in trust, shared standards, and a
commitment to long-term workforce development.

Forging thinking technicians

First and foremost, we focus on building understanding and skill mastery. Our training is not designed to promote mindless parts changing or checklist-driven work. If you want technicians who can think critically, perform advanced troubleshooting, and solve real-world problems, ASTA is the right
partner for you.

Commitment to quality and consistency

At ASTA, we strive to be the best at what we do—and we look for partners who hold themselves to the same high standards. Our development and training teams are driven by quality, instructional effectiveness, and continuous improvement. We innovate with purpose and challenge ourselves to adapt as technologies, expectations, and workforce needs evolve.

Operational readiness and collaboration

We move fast and act with intention. Successful partnerships require the ability to implement, support, and continuously improve training programs through open collaboration and shared accountability.

Innovation and adaptability

Tech-enabled training is not a replacement for hands-on experience. However, openness to modern learning tools, data-driven insights, and evolving learner expectations is essential for building effective, future-ready workforce programs.

Integrity and a long-term mindset

We value partners who share our commitment to transparency, trust, and sustainable workforce
solutions—focused on long-term impact rather than short-term fixes or reactionary training initiatives.

Our Current Partners

PowerChampions

The American Skilled Trades Academy proudly partners with PowerChampions to support the development of generator maintenance technicians and emergency power supply system professionals. This partnership is focused on the services, maintenance, and sales environments that keep critical power systems operating across commercial and industrial facilities.

ASTA works closely with PowerChampions’ depot in Greenville, South Carolina, and their partner TripelT in Sumter, South Carolina, to deliver structured training programs for technicians at every stage of their career. From entry-level technicians with little or no prior experience to advanced technicians seeking to scale and specialize their skills, our coordinated approach ensures training is relevant, progressive, and aligned to real-world operational demands. Together, we provide a full spectrum of workforce development support, including technician evaluations, knowledge assessments, and targeted training courses. ASTA also supports OSHA certification and NFPA 110 and NFPA 99 education, helping ensure technicians are prepared to work safely and confidently within regulated emergency power environments. Through custom training development and learner-journey tracking, we help PowerChampions and TripleT build clear, measurable pathways for technician growth, performance, and long-term success.
