About Victory Trade School



Victory Trade School provides opportunities to learn in a Christian environment, to gain the skills necessary for a career in the hospitality industry, and the life skills to enter society as productive citizens.

Victory Trade School allows men a safe environment in which to live, study, work and socialize together. The students enjoy a campus that affirms Christian values and the worth of each individual. This unique environment enables them to develop interpersonal skills as they learn teamwork.

One year to a new career
The core curriculum of hospitality, food service and hotel industry, is balanced with Christian-based life skills classes, interpersonal courses, conflict resolution, and Bible studies. Our motto "Keeping your job - earning your keep" is the ultimate goal as we nurture students in a spiritual environment.

While attending Victory Trade School, men find opportunities beyond the classroom in the following areas:

  • Hands-on training

  • Visiting chef program/Guest speakers

  • Opportunities with the American Culinary Federation – Springfield/Branson chapter

  • Leadership opportunities through manager-in-training (MIT) program

  • Supervision opportunities through Sous Chef-in-training (SIT) program

  • Cooperative decision making

  • On site student chaplain

  • Hotel or restaurant careers

  • Weekly Bible-based/self-help classes and group discussions

  • Involvement in local churches

You can move up from flipping burgers to a real Hospitality Career. It takes effort, work and a willingness to learn, but you can do it. You're worth it. Springfield Victory Mission has invested in a trade school that offers intensive training in foodservice and hotel/motel that will give you the career advantage of seven, yes seven nationally recognized hospitality industry certificates and a ManageFirst professional credential in as little as one year!

Jesus taught us to be "fishers of men." That we strive to be.

It is said, "Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day, but teach a man to fish and he will eat for a lifetime."

We are striving to teach self-sufficiency within the framework of Christian love.
