For many high school students, college is the answer. For many others, it is trade school.

The Ride & Decide Program pairs students with trade industry contractors to allow them to experience the trade while assisting in paid work functions during their summer school break.

Students can get a combination of on-the- job apprentice training with specific college courses. Careful planning saves families hard-earned dollars, helps the economy, and gives a young person a jump start to their future.
