Auto schools and skillsUSA

I was in the BOE program (Business Office Education) and loved it. Senior year was half time with the other half at Wahl Insurance Agency, getting paid along with school credit.

Thankfully there is a new push to resurrect trade programs!!! I hope it not only expands but is met with great demand and enthusiasm.

High school offers trade courses so students can position themselves for jobs

In Missouri it was C.O.E. Cooperative Occupational Education. Like you, I went to school half a day, and worked the other half, at a trade I retired from after 48 years. Over the years, as a manager, I had several employees work for me, with college degrees.
