The General Society of Mechanics & Tradesmen possible.
“You represent the sixth generation of students to graduate from this Institute without having to bear a crushing debt. This is our gift to you. All of us. And you are worthy of that gift because you rose up and you accepted the challenge. You studied hard and you thought you could succeed.
You believed you could succeed.
And you did succeed.
You are smarter now, each in your own way. You are smarter.
So go and make a difference in our City.
Go make a difference in our world.
Make it better. Stronger. Smarter.
We believe in you .”

About The Mechanics Institute
The Mechanics Institute, an educational program of The General Society of Mechanics and Tradesmen, established in 1858, continues to provide tuition-free evening instruction in trades-related education and provides a critical service to improve job opportunities for New Yorkers in the building and construction industry. Without a tuition-free education, many of our students would be unable to get the technical education needed to advance in today’s environment. Each fall, over 300 students enroll in the Mechanics Institute’s programs including Electrical Technology, HVAC/R Systems, Plumbing Systems and Construction Project Management and AutoCAD and BIM.
