Ready to Get Started?

NextBranch Academy is where practical skills meet purpose. Veteran- and woman-led, our mission is to equip individuals — especially women, veterans, and those rebuilding their lives — with real-world appliance repair training that leads to meaningful work.

About Us:

Our Mission At NextBranch Academy, we believe that everyone deserves a shot at stability and independence. Our academy exists to provide that opportunity through technical education, hands-on mentorship, and a clear path to income.

Founded by Josue Samudio, a U.S. Marine Corps and Army veteran from Panama, Josue created NextBranch Academy to give people the kind of opportunity he fought for — the ability to build their future with their own hands. After years in service and later mastering the appliance repair trade himself, Josue knew he wanted to use that knowledge to help others gain confidence, skills, and real independence.
