So we have over 70,000 apprentices on our platform.
I've used our platform last month.
I don't know the exact number for last month.
And for the businesses, there's several thousand that are active at any time looking for an apprenticeship.
Yeah.
So in order to get access to the platform, they have to become a member.
Then they have complete access.
It costs $400 a quarter.
It's about a hundred bucks a month.
Right now, it's just a flat fee, but many businesses end up hiring their apprentice.
So there's a scenario in the future where we'll help them hire.
Businesses that are looking for full-time hire can enter a concierge type of experience where we'll help them find a great match that they could use as a full-time hire.
Yeah, I think a little more than 3,000 businesses.
So we've launched about two and a half, three years ago, and it's been quite a journey just figuring out what both sides of the marketplace want.
We had this crazy idea that businesses can provide job training.
There's two worlds that exist.
In one world, job training is controlled by centralized...
It's post-secondary institutions that are very expensive, cost a lot of money, only available to a small subset of people, and frankly, do a really bad job.
53% of graduates are underemployed.
That's the world that we live in.
