PowerUs is a Berlin-based digital career platform for skilled blue-collar workers in technical trades. It functions as a vertical marketplace where workers can create profiles, access training, compare salaries, receive job offers on their smartphones, and get help from a personal advisor; employers can post jobs and search for candidates, paying for access. The platform makes money by charging companies to post vacancies and connect with workers. Its goal is to reduce the talent shortage in technical sectors by making skilled trades more attractive and easier to hire, with a focus on roles important for the energy transition.
