Not only do we have the programs for people to get their general education, which would be your adult high school, your GED, adult language acquisition.

Can I ask a question? Yes. What's the difference between

[00:12:58] Speaker 3 (introduced as “Larry Benjamin” — machine-transcribed, not verified) + overlapping voice · overlapping voices

a pre-apprenticeship and an apprenticeship? That's a good question. So the difference is a pre-apprenticeship is just like that kind of the word pre. It's your baseline to give you an overview and it gives you a skill set that could bring you back to work. But it also is earmarked to get into

[00:13:14] Speaker 3 (introduced as “Larry Benjamin” — machine-transcribed, not verified) + overlapping voice · Machine re-recognized

apprenticeships.

[00:13:15] Speaker 3 (introduced as “Larry Benjamin” — machine-transcribed, not verified) + overlapping voice

So all of our pre-apprenticeships have apprenticeship ‸ sponsors that can take our students in. And generally, students that are in a pre-apprenticeship should have a foot in the door ahead of just someone off the street that wants to apply to an apprenticeship. So that's why we created pre-apprenticeships first. And those are under the educational entity from the state under adult education.

programs through the Department of Labor. But our apprenticeship programs through the state of Florida are through the Education Department. So if someone wants to be an apprenticeship sponsor, they have to fill out the paperwork through the Department of Education in Florida.

[00:13:59] Speaker 5

Yeah, and ‸ in these pre-apprenticeships, these certifications are industry recognized. So if they choose not to go into an apprenticeship, they still have these certifications that might get them into a job otherwise.

And so when we looked at cybersecurity and the need for IT in any job, every single job has cybersecurity need in it. And manufacturing is huge in that ability. So we decided to start a cybersecurity pre-apprenticeship. And like we said, it is full. We actually have a waiting list at times because we have in the lab, we have room for 25 students. We're actually building three more slots onto our lab. We originally only had room for 22. But each class we've pushed even more students into the room and found ways to support. Right now we have CompTIA is the certification and it's IT fundamentals. That is going to change in January, but it's still the same coursework.

And if you still haven't gotten your education by them, the thought of coming to school and just sitting and doing math and reading, that's not it for some people. But if they can contextually learn something and still increase their math and reading skills, and at the end of the day walk away with a certification and upskill their life and their family's life, that's a win.

who may not understand it, what that is, is it's the same diploma of Brevard Public Schools, except you're getting it through adult education. So it's the local diploma, and it's for students who the pathway at Brevard Public Schools standard high school doesn't work for them. And so they come in with their whatever credits they have, and we accelerate them to get them hopefully graduated on the cohort they're supposed to be graduated in. But then if that's not the pathway, then GED is the pathway.

So at any time you might find one of us in the classroom, but we're teachers, right? And so a lot of times classes are getting canceled. We really pride ourselves on trying not to cancel classes.

Well, if there's one student in the class, then it's worth having the class. Not a lot of programs in adult education definitely see my way in that. And yes, there is a cost. But if we really believe in upscaling the community and upscaling people, then one person doing better, then that's what we should be doing. So sometimes our classes are small, but ‸ we always keep them going. And then if it's a real small one, we might try to start another cohort sooner. But that's kind of where we're going right now.

But here's what they need to do. If we can get them to partner with us, then our people having this extra certification is absolutely going to help them. But if they had a training that they wanted us to do so that they'd be ready to be at Amazon, they just need to tell us what it is. And we'll add it to our program. We do that for employers all the time. In full transparency, the SolidWorks program took place because Knights Armament came to us and said that they wanted SolidWorks to be happening to hire people in that industry. And that's why we started the class.

the test. Now, ‸ when we first had the grant money, we would just let them take it until they could pass. I have to be honest, that's where we're struggling. We still ‸ need more funds for industry certification tests because we're letting them do it twice. If they don't pass the second time, they're having to come out of pocket. And sometimes that makes them not become a completer because they don't have the money. But we just, we have to have some changes just to be sustained.

the state college, they're right next door to us. I have been tracking data and our students don't, they don't go there. I mean, they may, but they want to start here first and have some success.

Well, there is a program called Florida ready to work fully available to us and is free. And so I decided to take on the program and every single one of my students in adult education is regardless if they're in a workforce or

and look at that 17 to 24 year old workforce and how can they support us and do more programs and come to us. So what we do is we try to track our students. We're supposed to track their employability for up to five years. So in adult education, you take social security numbers, which they can't in K-12, but that's so that we can track, did they go back to work, have the employability, what's the percentage. We bring in employers and apprenticeship sponsors throughout these courses to meet our students. I did have a workforce coordinator. I still have the position, but I had to let that go for one year so I could get an assistant director. But I can hire them back next year. And that person was the true wraparound. Like they would get them ready for interviews. They'd go to interviews with them, help them. We also have something on Thursdays and we've had multiple people come on for that. We'd love for you guys to actually come on. It's called Career Live. So on Thursdays, anybody in the community that has a skill set, has a career, has something to talk about education, it's from

It's about stabilizing the community, you know, and again, and, and, and, you know, we're closing. The folks don't have bad credit. They just don't have the capital to buy a home.
