Ultra4Next is an affiliate of Basin Wide Foundation.
We prepare students for the workforce through hands-on technical training and direct access to employers who explain, in person, the skills their shops and companies need.
Every student has the opportunity to succeed—and their odds improve when training is aligned with real employer demand.
Ultra4Next began with technical training and has expanded to include media training.

SVHS students built a Class 11 race car that their auto shop instructor, Shaun Kittrell raced at the 2026 King of the Hammers.
Sponsored by Sylvania Lights, the student-built car started dead last out of 25 entries and finished Top 10, in 9th place.
CONGRATULATIONS SILVER VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL!
Shaun Kittrell of Silver Valley High School talks about Ultra4Next on the Our Day Off podcast.
"The essential economy is in a world of hurt ... we're short 600,000 factory jobs, almost half a million construction workers, 400,000 auto technicians ... to fix the cars that we drive ... we need to start thinking about industrial independence."
"If everybody does go to college ... then nobody goes to trade school -- there are no plummers, there are no steam fitters, no pipe-fitters, no electricians, no welders ... that would be the collapse of western civilization."
Ultra4Next seeks factories to tour, shops to visit, events to create content, and internship opportunities for students.
We accept donations & equipment for schools & students, including welders, tools, vehicles, 3D printers, cameras, video editing hardware & software, and anything else that youth should learn how to use and operate.
