Triumph Workshop provides the tools, knowledge, and connections to foster a community of creation, innovation, and success.
Triumph Financial and TBK Bank, SSB established Triumph Workshop as a makerspace to serve the community through programs focusing on workforce development, education initiatives, and entrepreneur support.
The makerspace features a Metalshop, a Woodshop, an Innovation Lab, Artisan Areas, Collaboration Spaces, and a Coworking Loft. Trained instructors teach classes on a variety of tools and topics, and most are open to the public. For those who want to utilize the equipment outside of classes and programs, memberships are available that allow adults access to the makerspace anytime, day or night.
While the tools and technology are state-of-the-art, the heart behind it all is what matters most.
PROGRAMS
Forge The Future is a comprehensive workforce development program providing adults with training, credentials, and job opportunities that can lead to high demand, sustainable careers in the construction industry. Triumph Workshop offers this 3-week program quarterly each year for adults who find themselves in a time of transition. Participants include recent high school graduates, adults seeking a new career with more advancement opportunities, and people exiting the prison system looking for a fresh start. Forge The Future participants are as unique as the program itself, and with more than 50% of construction workers retiring over the next fifteen years, the need for skilled workers will be increasing for years to come.
K-12 Education Initiatives for young people are an important part of what happens at the makerspace. During the school year, field trips provide unique project based learning opportunities for students. Each hands-on group project is linked to a career path that helps expand what students think is possible for their futures. During school breaks, camps allow students the opportunity to learn skills they don’t typically learn inside a classroom. At least half of the campers are referred by local nonprofit partners and do not pay a fee to participate. K-12 Education Initiatives also include professional development sessions for teachers.
Many people who utilize the makerspace at Triumph Workshop are entrepreneurs. The state-of-the-art equipment and well organized tools are a dream workspace for people who want to be productive and thrive in a creative environment. In addition to the tangible things, the intangible resources at Triumph Workshop can be equally as valuable to people starting or growing a business. From tool instruction and supply advice, to mentorship and tips on business development, staff members and fellow entrepreneurs openly share information on a wide range of topics. NEW – Beginning in the fall of 2024, an Entrepreneur Support Series will be added to the calendar to formalize the support that’s already taking place.
The makerspace at Triumph Workshop includes a metalshop, a woodshop, an innovation lab, artisan areas, collaboration spaces, and a coworking loft.
