About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Validated Insights Report Released: Trade School Enrollments to Continue Strong Growth

Newest quarterly report from Validated Insights predicts enrollments in trade schools and trade programs will increase more than 6.5% annually.

According to the newly released report from higher education marketing and research firm Validated Insights, enrollments in trade schools are growing and projected to continue significant growth over the next five years, significantly outpacing overall growth in higher education enrollment.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20250318650036/en/

A new report from Validated Insights projects 6.6% CAGR in Trade School enrollment from 2024 to 2030, which eclipses enrollment growth of an estimated 3.2% CAGR from 2019 to 2024. The report projects growth in individual states and takes a deep dive into Beauty & Wellness schools.

A new report from Validated Insights projects 6.6% CAGR in Trade School enrollment from 2024 to 2030, which eclipses enrollment growth of an estimated 3.2% CAGR from 2019 to 2024. The report projects growth in individual states and takes a deep dive into Beauty & Wellness schools.

According to the report, fall enrollment at trade schools is projected to grow 6.6% per year, while market revenue is projected to grow at 6.0% annually through 2030. These rates are well above enrollment growth projections for higher education broadly, which Validated Insights estimates at 0.8% annually.

“Enrollment growth in trade schools and programs was stagnant for several years but it’s clearly on the upswing now, a trajectory we expect to continue,” said Brady Colby, Head of Market Research at Validated Insights and founder of Thirty Two Edu, which was acquired by Validated Insights in 2023. Colby and Thirty Two Edu provided the data and analysis used in previous market reports from several analysts and research firms.

In addition to monitoring and projecting top-level trends in the trade school marketplace, Validated Insights’ March report features more in-depth data and analysis of Beauty & Wellness schools and enrollments, which represent a significant portion of trade-related education. The March report also features state-by-state breakdowns of trade school enrollment patterns as well as state-by-state data on cosmetology programs.

Validated Insights estimates that the Beauty & Wellness category in trade education is worth $2.2 billion as of 2024, which represents 13.1% of the total trade school market. The report also predicts that this sub-market will grow at 5.4% a year through 2030. Although, given that more growth is expected in the trade school market as a whole, the Beauty & Wellness share of the trade market will decline over this time.

As of 2024, approximately 240,000 students were enrolled in Beauty & Wellness or Cosmetology programs nationally.

Also noted in the report is that community colleges still hold an enrollment edge in trade program participation, with about 54.4% of all trade program students attending at community colleges. This community college advantage is declining however, as enrollments in trade programs outside of community colleges continue to advance.

“All the trade school indices are pointed upwards,” said Colby. “Search traffic, estimates from high school counselors, and overall sentiment all point to stable and strong growth in trade schools for the next several years.”

In late 2024, Validated Insights released its initial report on trade schools. Future reports on trade schools and trade-related enrollments will be released quarterly, along with other timely and relevant information about higher education and the higher education market.
