At Dakota Prep, we believe the future of the trades is built by people who show up for others. That’s why we’re excited to announce the Dakota Prep Fellowship 2026 — a program designed to recognize and support electrical students who demonstrate leadership, mentorship, and a commitment to strengthening the trades community.
Dakota Prep’s mission is to help people build successful careers in the skilled trades. Through intuitive digital tools and exam-focused learning, we support students as they prepare for trade exams and advance in their careers.
Our platform is used by thousands of electricians across North America, with learners from dozens of schools, unions, and training programs in both Canada and the United States.
The Dakota Prep Fellowship exists to recognize individuals who actively help others succeed. Each year, we award fellowships to students who lead study groups, tutor peers, share knowledge, and contribute to a more connected and supportive electrical community.
For 2026, the fellowship will support ten (10) outstanding electrical students across Canada and the United States.
