How did you learn about the dual credit program? Who did you complete your application with?

I’ve always been interested in automotive trade since I took it at high school. I’m really close with the Vice Principal there, so through talking with the VP and teacher and doing a bit of research through them, I found that there was a program I could take where I could get a college and a high school credit and be involved in the workforce at a dealership or shop. Through that, I talked to my co-op teacher there and she gave me more info about it. I knew I loved the trades, especially automotive, and I thought it’d be a great experience to try out. It doesn’t hurt to get a credit for college for free. I thought it had a lot of benefits to it. I filled out application with my co-op teacher. Continue reading
