For our students specifically, they spend half of our day with us and then they still spend half of their day at their sending high school. So oftentimes if they're sending high school, they're getting those traditional classes that you think of. They're getting calculus. They're getting P.E. They're getting their health class. They're getting English, things like that.

When they are with us for two and a half hours out of their school day, they are, of course, getting their... their technical education, whatever that looks like in their program. But then we also offer a embedded math and English. And what's kind of unique about what we do is that our math and English is specifically tailored to for whatever program they're in.

So if you are in our health sciences program, your math may look like, you know, converting CCs to milliliters. In construction, their math may be very geometry heavy. In health sciences, you may have to be typing up and writing about patient care and what happened to the patient this morning, and they're practicing those skills that they're gonna need to have in industry.

They are very, very on board. They are constantly making sure that students are coming in and shadowing. And if we have events, making sure that those are promoted at our sending high schools. So just that students know and that there's awareness.

Ooh, so I would say probably hands down, this may or may not surprise you, but our welding program. Every single year, we have a gigantic wait list of students. And I think that that's just due to the allure of the industry itself and also just the ability to have a really high-paying job straight out of high school with no college debt is, I think, very appealing to a lot of our students today.

I would also say our health sciences program, and that probably comes as no surprise because we need healthcare professionals.

The main thing that we're hearing is that, like skilled trades especially, those are a lot of kids that maybe they don't want to go to college, and that's totally fine.

They want to be able to have that flexibility, though, and use their two-year training that they've had with Northland Career Center to go out somewhere, work hard, be successful, and make a really good living and support their family.
