Vocational Programs
In this day and age, it is important that people are practical with their career paths. Though we encourage people to go to college and university as much as possible, we also acknowledge that economic times are difficult and one cannot be without a job. Some students go to college and after graduation, they still do not get a job in the field that they went to school for. Some just don’t have the desire to go to college; instead they want to learn a skill that they can get paid for. Instead of letting them cut off their education, we want to provide practical programs that will equip them with practical skills.
