40% Dropout Rate

Up to 40% of students enrolled in traditional four-year colleges do not complete their degrees, often due to high costs, overwhelming debt, and a lack of clear career direction.

2x Faster Completion

Trade school programs typically take two years or less to complete, enabling students to enter the workforce much sooner than those pursuing a traditional four-year degree.

3x Less Cost

On average, trade school education costs significantly less than a four-year college degree, reducing student debt and financial burden. The average cost of a trade school program ranges from $5,000 to $15,000, compared to what a bachelor's degree might cost.

Why Trade School Is a Wise Choice

Job Security and High Demand

Skilled trade professionals are in high demand across the country, with many industries experiencing significant shortages. Jobs like electricians, welders, and HVAC technicians offer stable employment opportunities and competitive salaries.

Hands-On Learning

Trade schools emphasize practical, hands-on training, allowing students to gain real-world experience from the outset. This prepares them for the actual work environment, making them highly valuable to employers.

Diverse Career Opportunities

Trade schools provide specialized training for various careers, from electrical technicians to automation specialists, making it easier for students to find a niche that suits their interests and strengths.
