Upstryve is a top online tutor in vocational education. It is thought to be the only online tutoring marketplace nationwide that deals specifically with the industrial trade industry. The firm offers end-to-end tutoring for vocational training and advancements. It provides services to individuals and provides a corporate training platform for corporations and organisations.

The company has grown tremendously since the COVID-19 pandemic caused a change in the delivery of training. Upstryve was not the only company affected. The online tutoring market, in general, has seen a surge in growth. A severe shortage of skilled labour in vocational careers has also worked to the company’s advantage.
According to the President of ProBility Media Corp, Noah Davis, there is more focus on the traditional four-year education than vocational training. Because of this, there is a shortage of trade skills. Their goal is to address the issue by transforming the way trade skills are taught. They provide mentoring, tutoring and job placement for workers.

The new Upstryve company has 600 self-study books and 500 test prep courses. It also teaches more than 1000 virtual classes every year through One Exam Prep. Upstryve is to launch over 400 safety programs through North American Crane Bureau. Some of its clients will include Alcoa, IBM, Tesla and General Electric.
Upstryve will also specialise in recourse development, consulting and program management for clients like The University of Texas.
