York Tech has announced they're going to start their life program.
Heath SessionsHOST
So it's great to see that program that was started by some of the flagship larger universities now getting to our technical schools.

Joe RyanGUEST
And the other students that you're going to meet today and beyond, we're hoping they all move up there because Clemson is not growing that fast.

That's not my district, but Dennis Moss, Tommy Pope, those guys, they're going to be glad to see that, and that's really good.
Randy LigonGUEST
We're going to have to work, and we are working with our York Tech school, our dual enrollment programs.

Rebekah KickGUEST
So th- they can just be thinking about what all- ... is out there doing the job shadowing, seventh, eighth, and ninth, um, visiting Winthrop, visiting York Tech and all of our college partners.
Rebekah KickGUEST
Um, and then we have internship opportunities for them as well.
Rebekah KickGUEST
So we want them to explore as much as possible so that they can kind of get a sense, "Is this for me? Is this not for me?" And start narrowing those thoughts down by the time they graduate.
Tyler CuppHOST

Right.
Heath SessionsHOST
Well, last but not least, another thing is let's talk about higher education.
Heath SessionsHOST
If you want to go graduate high school, you want to go whether it's you want to go to York Tech, you want to go to Winthrop or a four year school, you know, or maybe you want to go vocational route.
Heath SessionsHOST
Making sure that there are financial opportunities like Pell Grants, Stafford Loans, and other things out there where they're not just eligible.
Heath SessionsHOST
Folks who go to a four-year traditional, you can get a Pell Grant.
Brandon GuffeyHOST

Heath SessionsHOST
Yep.
