NEUST started as the Nueva Ecija Trade School (NETS) in San Isidro, Nueva Ecija on June 7, 1929, offering vocational opportunities to the youth of the province. The only course offered was woodworking in addition to the existing secondary curriculum that was inherited from the Wright Institute. To meet the increasing demand for vocational education in the whole province, the trade school was transferred to Cabanatuan City on June 7, 1931. Enrolment increased; however, the program was interrupted by the Second World War which broke up in the Pacific in December 1941. Immediately after the war, the trade school was reopened on September 6, 1945. A rehabilitation program took place. The trade school continued its mission to meet the vocational and manpower needs of students coming from Nueva Ecija and the nearby provinces. On June 8, 1948, a course in dressmaking was opened and female students were admitted. A few years later, food trades and cosmetology courses were offered.
