Hohokus School of Trade and Technical Sciences

What Hohokus School of Trade and Technical Sciences does

Hohokus School of Trade and Technical Sciences, operating under the parent legal entity Eastwick Education, is a private vocational and higher education institution based in Bergen County, New Jersey. The institution runs four physical campuses in Ramsey, Hackensack, Nutley, and Paterson, and offers more than 25 accelerated programs spanning healthcare, skilled trades, technology, and business. Program offerings include certificates, associate degrees, bachelor's degrees (notably a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and a bachelor's in OB/GYN Diagnostic Medical Sonography), and registered apprenticeships in plumbing and electrical work, alongside programs in welding, HVACR, culinary arts, cybersecurity, surgical technology, medical assisting, funeral service, and health information technology. The institution emphasizes hands-on, specialized classroom environments and references affiliations and accreditations as quality markers.

The business model is tuition-based, with revenue derived from student enrollment across the various programs. Distribution is campus-centric: prospective students are routed through a website inquiry form (capturing program and campus preferences) or on-campus visits, then apply online or in-person to enroll in programs whose availability varies by location. Marketing channels combine direct bottom-of-funnel inquiry capture with top-of-funnel educational content (blog articles on trade and healthcare careers). Pricing and tuition schedules are not publicly disclosed; prospective students are directed to contact admissions. The organization operates with approximately 47 employees across its four locations, and no public funding, M&A, leadership changes, or ownership disclosures were identified in the source material.
