But that's not what it necessarily has to be.

If you're a student who's interested in welding, maybe that's where you need to start, right? And we're doing some really cool things with Jackson College.

So as an example, we've been working with their health department.

And so this year we have a college class where students it's medical terminology but it's applied every week is going to be a different profession in the medical field they're learning the terminology as they're going they're actually in the labs learning what it's like to be a nurse or do radiography and sonography right and then they have to apply their knowledge and then at the end of it we're going to have a parent day where all the parents get to come in and the kids are going to take their pulse and they're going to scan and find their liver with the sonography tools.

that all of our students across Michigan are expected to do when they're exploring career pathways, I think starting in seventh grade, and starting to fill out those things and get an idea.

Even the essay to get dual enrolled is, I think it's related to what kind of good would you like to give back with what you're going to do, right? What change would you like to make? One of the most important things is having a great counseling crew whose students feel comfortable talking to, who they're meeting with consistently.

Again, we're really fortunate in our partnership with Jackson College.

So our high school counselor and our student success navigator from the college sit together all day, every single Thursday meeting with all of our dual enrolled students.

You would get that in a college football game with a 40-point spread.

It's like Ohio State versus Jackson Community College.

Yeah.

So Hatcher, McInnes, or Katoi?
