A
Welcome
everyone.
Thank
you
for
coming
to
the
Oldsmar
2023
economic
Summit.
My
name
is
Doug
Bevis
I'm,
the
director
of
public
relations
and
government
Affairs
for
the
Upper
Tampa
Bay
Chamber
of
Commerce,
and
was
also
honored
to
be
the
mayor
of
the
city
of
Oldsmar,
from
2013
to
2019,
which,
coincidentally
January
of
2019,
is
the
last
time
that
we
have
done
one
of
these.
So
we're
really
excited,
and
so
we
have
an
agenda
for
everybody.
G
H
G
D
A
C
D
A
D
B
I
I
I
just
got
back
from
Poland
14
days
and
I'm
just
glad
my
hands
and
my
feet
are
no
longer
froze.
It
was
zero
Celsius
minus
four,
so
that's
32
degrees,
22
degrees.
Every
day,
I
was
there
lots
of
snow
and
lots
of
cold
air,
so
I'm
glad
to
be
back
what
I
just
wanted
to
say:
Gene
dobre
means
good
morning
or
good
day
to
all
of
you,
so
with
that
I
just
want
to
thank
again
everyone
for
coming,
because
it's
so
important.
I
In
this
event,
it's
so
important
that
we
all
work
together
to
see
the
future
of
our
city,
not
only
for
our
citizens,
but
for
us,
our
children
and
our
families,
so
that
we
can
continue
to
grow
the
city
of
Oldsmar,
Economic
Development,
where
we
can
create
jobs
and
bring
more
families
to
our
city
for
growth
in
our
city.
And
with
that
again,
thank
you
for
coming
I'm.
I
H
We
thought
we'd
just
take
a
couple
minutes
and
really
I'm
going
to
show
you
a
whole
bunch
of
statistics
on
a
slideshow
so
and
I
and
I
think
that
yeah
is
that
what
you
want
to
see
perfect
for
the
morning
right?
So
you
know
we
just
taught
I.
We
I
thought
it
would
take
a
couple
minutes
and
we'd
say
you
know,
kind
of
what
our
state
of
the
city
is.
H
H
So
the
city
council,
I,
don't
know
if
you
all
have
seen
this,
but
we
have
a
strategic
Vision,
I'm
partnering
with
families,
businesses
and
visitors,
to
make
Oldsmar
creative,
vibrant
and
thriving
community,
and
the
city
council
adopts
priorities.
They
usually
do
it
annually
in
this
case
last
year
they
adopted
priorities
for
the
next
two
years,
really
because
priorities
can't
be
done
in
one
correct
mayor,
it's
very
difficult.
H
So
so
the
council
priorities
are
maintaining
the
existing
infrastructure,
enhancing
roadway
safety
for
all
modalities,
you'll,
see
that
we're
doing
a
lot
of
work
in
those
areas,
renovation
and
upgrade
of
Harbor
Palms
infrastructure.
Updating
our
comprehensive
plan
comprehensive
plan
is
the
regulatory
guidelines
for
all
Land
Development.
So
that's
a
pretty
important
one
to
this
stakeholder
group,
we're
implementing
Oldsmar,
Sports
Complex
improvements,
we're
expanding
Community
engagement
and
then
we're
building
a
downtown
Corridor.
So
those
are
our
next
couple
years
priorities.
H
So
why
does
economic
development
matter?
You
all
know
this
Economic
Development
drives
a
community,
so
in
basic
terms,
you
can't
have
residential
population
without
Economic
Development
I
like
to
remind
people
we
need
a
place
to
live
and
to
work.
It's
pretty
much
that
simple
to
me.
I
was
sharing
a
story
of
Oldsmar
and
and
how
I?
H
One
of
the
reasons
that
I
work
here
is
that
a
lot
of
municipalities
strive
for
a
70,
30
split
and
their
ad
valorem
tax
revenues,
so
that
70
percent
residential
30
percent
commercial
and
they
call
that
an
economic
development
success
I
look
at
one
of
our
measurables,
it's
not
on
the
slide.
It's
52
percent
of
our
ad
valarm
taxes
come
from
the
business
Community.
That's
how
important
it
is
to
us,
so
I
I
like
to
refer
to
us,
sometimes
as
upside
downtown
as
far
as
our
Revenue
profile.
H
So
here's
some
demographic
information.
We
have
a
population
of
about
15,
000
people,
we've
we're
having
we're
growing
in
the
younger
Market
segment.
Our
median
age
is
37.9
you're,
going
to
see
in
a
slide
down
the
road.
That's
the
youngest
in
Pinellas
County.
Is
that
shocking
to
anyone
in
this
room,
I
mean
yeah.
It
makes
sense
and
I'm
going
to
get
there,
so
our
taxable
value
continues
to
climb.
We
have
a
very
low
millage
rate
4.05,
one
of
the
lower
ones
in
Pinellas
County.
We
have
about
nine
square
miles.
H
We've
been
working
on
some
major
Capital
Improvements
that
directly
serve
the
business
community,
so
with
Douglas
Road
Improvement
project.
You
guys
noticed
that
anybody
off
at
Douglas
Road
that
was
very
needed.
You
know
the
roadway
was
it:
it
needed
some
care,
and
so
we've
we've
resourced
about
I.
Think
it's
about
six
million
dollars
for
that
roadway,
Burbank,
Road,
Extension,
so
that's
opened
and
that
pushed
through
another
travel
alternative
for
the
the
business
community
and
then
we're
working
on
Oldsmar
Trail.
This
is
phase
six.
H
You
guys
can
all
see
that
clearly,
okay,
so
then
you
know
it's
always
nice
to
know
how
we
compared
our
neighbors
I
like
to
know
that,
so
you
know,
there's
our
population
in
that
first
column,
but
you'll
notice,
I
think
the
second
column,
that's
the
one
that
stands
out
a
number
of
businesses.
We
have
1186
businesses
and
less
than
15
000
residents.
H
I,
don't
see
anybody
else
with
that
ratio
on
that
slide,
so
employees
for
Resident
population,
we
have
the
most,
we
have
105
and
that
compares-
and
you
can
see
where,
where
the
next
ones
are
right,
so
59
is
Clear
Water,
that's
the
least
so
that
again
goes
to
how
important
our
business
Community
is
to
us
and
then
also
our
average
earnings.
You
can
see
we're
only
second
to
Safety
Harbor,
so
that's
our
average
earnings
for
a
population.
Oldsmar
grows
along
with
our
with
our
economy.
It's
just
a
direct
correlation.
H
H
You
know,
and
that's
one
of
the
reasons
that
we're
we're
updating
our
comprehensive
plan
right
now
is
so
that
we
can
look
at
that.
The
next
slide
is
our
demographics.
This
one's
a
it
starts
from
zero
at
the
top,
so
that
five
percent
is
zero
to
four,
so
you
can
see
about
half
of
our
population
is
from
the
green,
it's
12.8
percent
kind
of
up
to
the
to
the
five
percent,
and
so
that's
you
know.
More
than
half
of
our
population
is
less
than
44.
H
So
this
is
a
comparison
of
our
median
population,
our
age,
compared
to
our
neighbors,
so
we're
we're
on
the
on
the
left.
We
are
the
youngest
we
we're
the
youngest
when
we,
when
we
did
this
in
2011
and
we're
the
youngest
now
we're
actually
the
only
one,
if
you
guys
can
see
we're
the
only
one,
that's
well
Us
in
Safety
Harbor
are
the
only
ones
that
are
declining
in
the
population
age.
Anybody
guess
why
that
is
besides
me.
H
H
And
that's
just
my
guess:
I
have
no
like
that's
just
intuitive
right.
So
what's
our
median
home
prices,
how
do
we
compare
the
last
time?
Doug?
If
you
remember
when
we
did
this
in
mayor,
when
you
remember
we
were
actually
we
had
the
lowest
median
home
price
in
in
2019
of
these
communities.
So
not
anymore.
H
Unemployment,
this
is
for
Pinellas,
County
and,
and
really
it
shows
that
Pinellas
County,
that
employment
rate
is
less
than
than
our
comparisons,
so
less
than
the
Tampa
Metropolitan
statistical
area.
So
they
call
that
an
MSA
and
so
so
we're
healthy
as
far
as
our
unemployment
rate,
which
should
help
you
all
out
so
how's
commercial,
real
estate
changing-
and
this
is
you
know,
this
is
really
just
a
graph
to
show
that
you
know
the
the
rates
are
changing
and
the
and
the,
but
we
still
have
vacancies.
H
So,
what's
our
local
economy
doing
this,
this
is
all
from
Pinellas
County.
So
again
we're
growing.
You
know,
consumer
spending
is
growing.
Tourism
continues
to
grow
and
in
Pinellas
County
you
often
hear
that
tourism
is,
you
know
it's
a
very
strong
Market,
but
so
is
the
manufacturing
and
Industrial
and
I.
Think
Dr
Johnson
can
can
help
me
out
with
that.
But
they're.
You
know
those
are
our
two
stronger
markets.
H
It's
also
nice
to
compare
educational
attainment.
This
has
changed
too
in
Oldsmar
we're
we're
getting.
This
year's
2021
shows
a
higher
level
of
higher
degrees
than
it
did
in
in
2019..
So
so
so
we're
cut
we're
we're
right
and
long
in
line
with
our
neighbors.
You
know
we
so
so
we're
pretty
much
reflecting
what
the
North
Pinellas
County
cities
are.
H
Domestic
trade
growth
for
the
State
of
Florida
is
booming
right,
688
billion
dollars
in
2020,
and
it's
expected
to
increase
by
105.
You
guys
feeling
some
of
this
with
trade
I'm
looking
at
people
of
the
trade
Partners,
yes,
okay,
the
next
slide
shows
top
industry
by
location
quotient.
A
location
quotient
is
something
that
Economic
Development.
H
The
profession
looks
at
and
really
it's
to
compare.
What,
if
we
have
more
of
an
industry,
is
to
identify
industry
clusters,
but
it
shows
what
industries
that
we
have
a
higher
concentration
of
compared
to
other
places
so
compared
to
the
State
of
Florida
compared
to
the
United
States,
so
I
like
to
explain
what
you're,
looking
at
so
top
industries
by
location
quotient.
H
Now,
this
is
for
the
Tampa
Bay
statistical
area,
so
trade,
Transportation
utilities,
professional
and
business
services,
education
and
Health
Services
are
our
top
ones,
but
all
of
these
have
show
greater
concentration,
so
manufacturing
and
construction
government
Leisure
Hospitality.
Anything
that
that
shows
up
on
here
means
that
we
have
a
higher
concentration
than
the
United
States
average.
H
So
what
does
that
look
like
in
terms
of
earnings?
These
are
hourly
earnings
by
you
know
that
employment
sector,
so
you
can
see
here,
Chief
Executives,
you
know
almost
100
an
hour
construction
managers,
48
engineer,
62
lawyers,
judges,
53,
computer
64,
architectural
engineering
66,
so
these
aren't
probably
surprises
to
you
and
then
what
are
our
business
types?
H
So
you
know
you
can
see
this
right.
So
our
business
types,
management
occupations,
I
mean
we
still
have
a
food
service,
related
office
and
admin
sales
related.
So
I
think
this
graph
display
it's
just
a
heat
map
of
where
we
our
types
and
then
what
are
our
Industries?
So
you
can.
You
can
see
this
too
health
care
and
social
assistance.
That's
it.
This
is
newly
popping
up
for
us
that
wasn't
really
here
in
2019.,
so
we
are
seeing
an
influx
of
those
that
could
be.
H
It
could
be
some
manufacturing
space
that
actually
you
know
it's
it's
self-reported,
so
so
you're
looking
at
Healthcare
and
social
assistance,
but
you
see
retail
trade.
We
see
that
that
area
is
very
strong
for
us.
You
see
manufacturing,
professional
finance
and
insurance,
so
those
are
our
top
ones.
Everyone
can
see
where
those
are
popping
out.
H
And
then
what
are
median
earnings
so
this
is
this
is
census
data,
so
you
can
see
professional
Scientific
Management.
The
earnings
are
great
Finance
insurance,
so
you
can
see
where
those
are.
These
are
divided
by
male
and
female
for
gender
specific
ones,
but
you
can
see
where
you
know
the
best
median
earnings
were
professional,
scientific
and
management.
H
What's
our
commuter
data
so
about
80
percent
of
us,
we
commute
alone,
so
you
know
so
about
80
percent,
and
then
we
have
work
from
home
population
about
11.2
percent,
and
then
we
have
5.62
percent
that
carpool.
So
you
know,
I
didn't
compare
this
to
a
trend
from
2019,
but
you
know
there
wasn't
a
work
from
home
element,
so
we
may
have
been
higher
there
in
a
in
our
commuter
data
as
far
as
single
occupancy
vehicles.
H
So
in
summary,
you
know
we're
young.
So
that's
that's
good
for
us
and
we're
getting
younger.
That
means
that
we
have
a
a
a
a
in-house
Market
of
talent.
That's
how
I
look
at
that
and
then
based
on
our
employee,
to
resident
we're
stronger.
We
have
more
than
double
the
amount
and
other
people
do
based
on
jobs
for
a
resident
population
and
then,
lastly,
we
have
a
hundred
different
occupations
and
Eleven
Hundred
businesses,
so
we're
we're
extremely
strong
from
a
economy
perspective
and
and
I
think
everybody
in
this
room.
That's
your
contributions
to
that.
D
I
just
wanted
to
ask
quick,
if
maybe
you
can
comment
or
maybe
Doug
can
from
the
job
fairs
or
something.
You
said
that
our
unemployment
rate
here
is
low
at
three
percent,
which
is
fine,
but
we
seem
to
import
most
of
our
workers.
Okay,
so
where
are
workers
from?
Why
are
we
importing
workers
as
far
as
taking
them,
instead
of
taking
them
from
Oldsmar
and
Oldsmar
workers
are
going
elsewhere
to
other
cities
and
counties.
H
A
It's
interesting,
I
I
did
look
at
some
numbers
and
some
graphs
for
the
area
recently
and
some
of
the
things
that
we're
doing
with
the
city
and
if
I
remember,
like
only
four
percent
of
our
residents
work
in
Oldsmar.
But
what's
interesting
is
that's
not
uncommon.
When
you
look
at
Safety
Harbor
or
you
look
at
Clearwater,
I.
Think
the
number
and
you
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
but
the
number
is
very
fairly
similar
that
where
people
work
and
where
they
live,
aren't
necessarily
the
same.
G
Well,
I
I
agree
with
Felicia.
If
we
knew
that
you
know
we
wouldn't
just
be
economic
developers,
we
would
be
rich,
but
but
I
do
have
a
a
comment
as
it
relates
to
what
we're
seeing
happening
in
the
environment
of
why
people
aren't
working
and
living
in
the
same
place.
A
lot
of
it
goes
to
availability
of
Housing
and
affordability
of
Housing,
and
so,
and
it
also
goes
to
the
mix
match
of
skill
sets
with
the
industry
need,
and
so
that's
why?
G
Having
events
like
this
is
so
critical
that
we
can
try
to
inform
our
citizens
of
the
skill
sets
needed
for
the
businesses
in
their
community
and
then
train
them
up
to
take
those
occupations,
and
they
don't
have
to
commute
for.
For
that
reason,
but
one
of
the
other
points
I
would
like
to
just
Echo
that
Felicia
did
on
one
of
her
slides.
When
she
talked
about
the
growing
Industries,
then
you
saw
Professional
Services
and
Manufacturing.
G
Oldsmar
has
a
very
strong
manufacturing
base
that
kind
of
transcends
over
different
industry
markets,
so,
whether
it's
medical
manufacturing
or
one
of
the
other
Industries?
What
we're
finding
is
that
manufacturing
being
bought
into
the
technology
era
and
showing
our
residents
that
there
is
opportunity
in
these
areas,
because
manufacturing
is
like
not
the
dirty
place
that
you
work
and
you
know
it's.
It's
clean
manufacturing
is
Class
A
manufacturing,
like
the
new
facility
that
just
opened
here
in
Oldsmar.
G
So
as
as
we
carried
the
message
out,
we
can
help
Shake
That
Paradigm
in
turn
and
and
shift
the
mindset
so
through
this
strategic,
comprehensive
development
process,
we'll
be
looking
at
how
we
can
better
message.
So
residents
can
better
understand
the
opportunities
that
we
have
here
in
our
community
and
for
our
businesses
to
understand
that
we
have
a
high
level
of
residence
who
have
the
capacity
to
perform
well
and
the
different
opportunities
that
they
have
available.
G
A
And
I'm
going
to
go
off
script
a
second,
but
we
have
B
lock.
Here
we
were
talking
about
living,
working
and
I'll.
Just
ask
this
by
a
show
of
hands
how
many
people
don't
live
in
Oldsmar,
don't
live
there!
You
go
kind
of
interesting,
but
would
you
guys
like
to
talk
for
a
second
about?
Why
you
stayed
here
and
the
facility
that
you're
in
and
how
important
this
location
is
to
you
guys.
C
D
C
Was
founded
as
a
30
000
square
foot
manufacturing
facility
just
down
the
road
up,
commerce
between
Forest,
Lakes
and
Tampa
Road
we've
been
here
for
about
you
know,
I,
think
I
said
20
years
we
decided
to
expand
here
chromalate
as
a
so.
Our
our
parent
company
chromali
is
about
4
000
people.
Globally,
we
do
about
a
billion
dollars
in
business
16
units
around
the
globe
and
we
we
primarily
make
engine
or
aircraft
engine
parts.
So
like
jet
engine
parts,
you
know
for
a
Boeing,
737
or
747.
C
the
Chrome
only
as
a
company
decided
to
invest
further
in
Oldsmar,
because
we're
looking
to
build
some
redundancy
in
our
supply
chain
and
also
consolidate
some
of
our
supply
chain.
Today
we
have
to
send
all
of
our
parts
that
we
machine
here
in
Oldsmar
up
to
our
New
York
facility
to
get
the
high
temperature
coating
that
they
need
to
be
able
to
survive
in
an
engine,
and
you
know
that's
expensive,
that
facility.
C
It
has
plenty
of
work,
so
we
decided
to
consolidate
Machining
and
coding
here
in
Oldsmar
and
I
think
the
reason
we
were
able
to
convince
the
company.
That
is
because
old
Oldsmar
is
very
friendly
to
business.
We
figured
that
we'd
be
able
to
kind
of
get
through
the
permitting
process
and
and
all
those
other
things
relatively
straightforwardly,
which
has
been
true
also
ultimar
is
very
Central
in
the
in
the
Bay
Area.
So
we
have
people
that
live
in
Riverview.
We
have
people
that
live
in
Saint
Pete.
C
A
I
think
yeah
and
only
getting
better
right,
yeah
and
I'm
going
to
do
this
again
and
there's
a
reason
kind
of
that
I'm
doing
this
because
it's
going
to
tie
into
our
guest
speaker.
But
Robin,
can
you
talk
about
micro,
Lumen
and
the
importance
of
the
location
and
what
you
have
in
the
relationship
that
we
have
and
and
how
we're
trying
to
help
all
of
our
business.
Community
grow.
F
Absolutely
thanks
Doug,
so
we're
a
manufacturer
here
and
we've
been
in
Oldsmar
since
2011.
we've
had
the
privilege
of
growing
in
the
last
12
years,
and
you
know
much
like
you
said.
The
city
of
ultimar
has
been
very
business
friendly.
The
chamber
in
particular,
has
been
very
supportive
introducing
us
to
different
manufacturers
in
the
area,
introducing
us
to
different
resources
where
we
could
get
training,
providing
us
with
Partnerships
with
different
organizations
so
that
we
can
try
to
get
our
recruiting
in
gear
up
until
2020.
F
Let's
face
it,
nobody
was
having
any
trouble
with
recruiting,
but
since
2020
the
world
has
turned
on
its
head
and
it's
been
very
challenging
and
having
the
Partnerships
that
we've
developed
with
the
city
and
with
the
chamber
has
really
helped
us
to
continue
our
recruiting
efforts.
I
mean
the
job
fairs
that
we've
put
on
and
the
different
resources
and
then
the
geographic
location.
F
Not
only
could
you
not
ask
for
a
better
central
location
to
pull
employees
from
all
different
areas
and
the
proximity
to
the
airport,
for
when
people
come
in
to
visit
us
Baltimore
itself
is
beautiful.
I
mean
our
employees
love
to
come
to
work
because
we're
right
there
by
the
by
the
trail.
You
can
take
the
trail
behind
our
building
all
the
way
down
to
the
recreation
center
and
back
so
we've
got
that
work-life
balance
aspect
happening
because
of
the
city's
commitment
to
Green
spaces
and
keeping
it
keeping
it.
F
B
Foreign.
Thank
you
very
much.
First
of
all,
thank
you
for
the
invite
to
be
here
with
you
guys
this
morning.
I
think
it's
super
important
I
just
did
an
interview
for
an
economic
magazine
last
week
and
they
asked
me
what's
the
most
important
aspect
of
running
a
technical
college
and
my
answer
is
very
simple
relationships
with
the
community.
A
perfect
example,
and
please
don't
take
this
the
wrong
way.
You
see
the
slide.
I've
seen
that
slide
a
thousand
times
educational
attainment,
What's
missing
foreign
School,
graduation
GED
associates
degree
bachelor's
degree.
B
That's
right
certificate
programs,
which
is
what
we
do.
So
please
don't
take
any
offense,
that's
normal.
We
get
skipped
over
all
the
time.
That's
pretty
much!
Why
folks
don't
really
understand
what
we
do
in
adult
education
until
they
get
to
us
and
then
they're
Blown
Away,
and
this
is
a
obviously
an
invite
to
everybody
here.
B
Please,
let
me
know
come
take
a
tour
of
our
College
see
what
we
do.
It
is
pretty
amazing,
so
Pinellas
Technical,
College,
formerly
known
as
p-tech,
formerly
known
as
pvti,
has
been
around
since
1962..
The
campus
I'm
responsible
for
the
Clearwater
campus
is
basically
by
the
Walmart
on
East,
Bay
and
19,
or
right
behind
there.
So
it's
a
great
location
where
nobody
can
see
us
off
a
major
road,
so
that
helps
a
lot.
B
B
Secret
right,
but
since
1962
we've
been
providing
vocational
education
as
it
used
to
be
called,
and
now
it's
called
Career
and
Technical
education
again
back
to
my
my
theme
here,
where
they
keep
changing
the
name,
because
we
want
to
get
the
word
out,
you
know
I
I,
don't
have
a
problem:
vocational
education,
but
somebody
in
their
wisdom
decided
and
used
to
be
adjusted.
We
have
a
lot
of
programs.
B
We
have
the
second
campus
in
Saint
Pete
across
from
Gibbs
High
School,
also
off
to
you
know
just
far
enough
off
of
34th
or
19,
depending
how
you
look
at
across
from
Gibbs
to
where
you
can't
see
the
campus.
Thank
you
same
problem.
We
have
some
big
plans
to
try
to
fix
that.
But
right
now,
that's
where
we're
at
between
the
two
schools:
we're
about
68
career
paths.
B
So
there's
something
for
everybody:
art
see
people
there's
a
little
bit.
I!
Gotta,
be
honest.
You
know:
Career
Technical
education
is
about
putting
people
to
work.
So
if
you're
an
artsy
person
there's
you
know
maybe
some
interior
decorating.
We
have
that.
Maybe
some
drafting
that
we
have
that.
But
that's
me
barbering,
cosmetology
and
of
course,
food
and
after
that,
it's
all
pretty
much
industrial
kind
of
work,
getting
people
to
work
in
boxes
or
if
you
will
and
I
mean
that.
B
Square
objects
that
fit
into
other
objects,
and
things
like
that
so,
but
we
do
have
something
for
everybody:
we're
a
non-loan
school.
That
means
no
loans,
no
debt,
you
come
to
Pinellas
Technical
College
and
if
you
are
qualified
for
a
Pell
Grant,
which
is
a
Federal
grant,
you
can
go
for
free
and
the
government
will
give
you
a
check.
B
While
you
attend
to
help
you
with
your
bills,
while
you're
attending
so
know
that
I
just
want
to
stress
that,
and
if
there
is
no
excuse-
and
this
is
my
opinion
now-
for
anybody
in
the
United
States-
to
get
a
quality
education
to
set
themselves
on
the
path
because
of
these
systems,
that
every
state
has
these
systems
right.
Every
county
has
this
system,
people
just
don't
know
about
it.
B
I'm
gonna
go,
spend
a
hundred
plus
thousand
dollars
on
a
bachelor's
degree,
and
then
I'm
gonna
go
to
Pinellas
Town
College
to
learn
how
to
weld
because
I
need
a
job.
I
get
that
a
lot
start.
The
other
way.
That's
my
message
to
you
guys
start
with
us.
Our
tagline
is
a
career.
In
a
year,
one
year,
five
hours
a
day,
Monday
through
Friday,
we'll
train,
you
note
that
you'll
get
a
mystery
certification.
B
B
B
B
B
B
My
family
lineage
is
all
very
highly
educated
in
Poland,
so
the
expectation
was
that
I
have
to
go
to
university.
Does
that
support
system
that
we
talk
about
right
with
our
young
people?
You
don't
have
that
you
don't
can't
see
it
well.
For
me
it
was
an
expectation,
so
I
went
to
University,
but
and
guess
what
I
did
it
with
minimal
debt?
Why
Doug?
Why?
Why
didn't
all
that?
B
B
B
To
go
to
Florida,
okay,
but
I'm
going
to
Florida.
Why
could
I
do
that?
I
had
a
toolbox,
I
have
my
tools
and
I
could
work
on
cars?
Okay,
let's
see
you
see
what
I'm
going
with
this.
So
I
did
I
I
quit
get
my
two
weeks
in
two
weeks
later
packed
up
a
moving
van
and
moved
to
Florida
I
got
a
job
on
the
phone
from
Detroit.
They
said
with
the
certifications,
I
told
them.
You
know
who
aren't
you
yeah
I
know
all
that
stuff?
I
B
B
It's
amazing
because
my
boys,
because
I
talked
right,
I
went
to
teach
High
School,
quit
my
automotive
job
and
taught
High
School
automotive
service,
and
my
boys
would
call
me
for
years
and
years
and
years
and
everything
we
need
to
know
about
life.
We
learn
in
Ottawa,
auto
shop.
Well,
the
car
is
like
a
human
being.
So
it's
pretty
easy
to
relate
everything
that
occurs
around
you,
because
every
part
of
Science
and
Math
is
in
the
vehicle.
You
just
have
to
help.
B
People
see
it
so
anyway,
I
taught
high
school
for
eight
years
and
then
my
mentor
advised
me
support
system
get
a
get
a
master's
degree.
Why?
Because
I'm
retiring
in
three
years
and
you
can
be
department
head,
so
he
fooled
me,
you
don't
need
a
master's
degree
to
be
a
burton
head.
Of
course,
I'd
find
that
out
to
about
halfway
through
my
master's
program
when
I
sat
and
walked
into
a
class
called
the
principal
ship
like
what
is
this
I
don't
want
to
run
a
school
too
late.
B
G
B
B
and-
and
he
said,
congratulations
have
a
good
time
when
you're
starting
your
doctor
right
support
system.
So
I
have
my
PhD
I
earned
my
PhD
from
University
of
South
Florida
and
curriculum,
and
instruction
for
focus
on
career
and
Workforce.
Innovation
education
and
I
tell
you
the
story,
because
Career
Technical
education
and
Workforce
itself
saved
my
life.
B
So
I
told
this
story
to
my
students,
because
persistence
and
motivation
are
very
difficult
in
our
young
people
today,
2020
something
changed
as
Felicia
mentioned
right.
We
all
know
what
that
was.
A
lot
of
people
did
a
lot
of
reflection
and
no
offense
to
any
government
agency
or
anything,
but
we're
also
giving
people
a
whole
lot
of
money
to
stay
home.
B
B
Luxury
right
this
Career
Technical
education
or
trades
people.
We
were
what
essential
all
right,
so
we
kept
working
and
I.
Think
a
lot
of
people
saw
that
so,
okay,
how
do
I
get
involved
in
this?
What's
the
opportunity
so
I'm
seeing
now
is
people
are
coming
to
me
saying
I,
don't
want
to
sit
in
class
anymore,
tired
of
sitting
at
class,
so
my
students
tell
me
I
want
to
do
something.
B
B
It's
a
huge
industry,
right
boats,
planes
coatings
nobody's
doing
it,
so
we
did
it.
We
wrote
the
curriculum.
Did
it
from
scratch?
Took
me
two
years
to
find
an
instructor.
We
have
a
Composites
program
and
low
voltage
or
limited
voltage
electricians,
which
is
cameras,
remote
access,
TVs,
sound
systems,
all
that
kind
of
stuff.
B
That
was
also
the
relationship
with
my
folks
from
the
central
Pinellas
Chamber
of
Commerce
and
that
I
met
over
there
through
Piper
fire
and
a
couple
other
companies
ADT
and
flying
laxman
specifically
and
those
conversations
they
said.
This
is
the
opportunity
we
have
for
these
people.
We
just
need
them
trained,
so
we
opened
those
programs
up
to
help
the
community
and
that's
pretty
much
the
process
that
we
use.
B
Our
mission
is
to
provide
our
students
with
the
opportunity
to
gain
National
workplace
competencies,
what
we
decide
and
how
we
decide
to
do
it
revolves
around
that
mission
and
a
workplace.
Competency
is
anything
for
showing
up
early,
because
that
means
you're
on
time
right
to
attendance
standards
and
behavioral
expectations.
We
try
to
initially
Implement
what
you
guys
do
in
your
businesses,
whatever
your
culture
is
at
your
work,
that's
what
I
want
to
see
in
the
programs.
B
I
want
to
prepare
my
students
not
only
from
a
skill
set
as
in
manipulation
of
goods
and
items
and
tools
and
whatnot,
but
also
from
a
brain
skill
set.
Knowing
how
what
does
it
mean
to
be
an
automotive
technician?
Now
we
have
to
tone
it
down
a
little
bit
because
if
you've
ever
been
in
an
automotive
technician,
you
kind
of
know
what
happens
behind
the
scenes
over
there.
So
I
don't
want
to
have
that
left
and
right.
B
You
know
it's
got
to
be
clean
and
nice
and
you
know
everybody's
got
to
get
along
and
not
making
fun
of
each
other
and
all
that
kind
of
stuff.
So
we
try
to
keep
it,
keep
it
very
professional,
but
we
want
to
implement
those
kinds
of
things
within
our
school,
so
they
can
provide
prepare
the
students
for
the
culture
when
they
come
see
you
a
lot
of
moving
Parts.
This
stuff's
not
easy
to
do.
B
B
You
all
know
that
the
details,
the
important
things,
the
things
that
nobody
sees
they're
found
in
books
and
also
professional
Relationships
by
talking
to
people
the
subtleties,
is
what
matters
in
the
world
of
work.
That's
what
gives
you
your
company,
one
of
your
core
companies
and
an
advantage
over
the
other
company
you
knowing
stuff
the
other
people,
don't
know
guys.
Looking
at
me
like
I'm,
crazy,
that's
just
that
by
the
line.
B
So
our
people,
young
people,
have
no
desire
to
spend
that
much
time
they
like
the
books
and
and
it's
a
blanket
statement
and
I
apologize
is
probably
not
not
everybody
right,
but
many
of
them.
They
like
the
information
they
just
don't
like
to
take
the
time.
So
how
do
we
get
them
to
sit
down
and
understand
that
reading
and
reading
books
is
important
to
as
important
as
doing
that
welding?
As
doing
that
practice,
you
got
to
practice
every
day
you
got
to
get
better
at
whatever
it
is
that
you
do
I.
I
B
Educational
sense
right,
the
nice
thing
about
our
organization
is
we
work
for
Pinellas
County
school
board,
so
we
are
a
public
school.
We
take
everybody
as
far
students
are
concerned
and
in
order
to
graduate
you
have
requirements,
but
you
don't
have
entry
level
requirements
except
for
nursing.
The
Board
of
Nursing
requires
us
to
test
our
students
and
they
have
to
have
a
certain
level
of
mathematics
and
science
and
that's
really
that's
what
gets
the
students
is.
The
science
part
just
FYI?
They
can
pass
the
reading
and
the
math.
B
In
most
cases
the
science
is
is
what
knocks
them
out
in
the
technical
study
and
then
come
back
and
so
beyond
that
you
can,
if
you
want
to
join
my
diesel
program,
learn
how
to
fix
trucks.
To
sign
you
up
next
start
is
in
March.
No,
no
questions
asked
to
graduate,
though
you
do
need
to
have
a
certain
level,
Tuesday,
9th
or
tenth
grade
of
reading
and
Mathematics.
B
Let's
think
about
that.
10Th
grade
reading
and
Mathematics
that
level
and
it's
tested
on
the
standardized
test
that
the
state
dictates,
which
one
we
have
to
use,
there's
a
variety
of
them
right
now.
It's
the
Casas
and
part
of
the
tape
I'm
not
going
to
worry
about
that,
but
just
be
aware
that
that's
the
exit
requirement.
So
if
somebody
that
you
know
is
saying,
oh
I
don't
want
to
go
there
because
I
heard
you
can't
it's
hard.
B
Technical,
no,
no,
it's
not
true.
You
do
have
to
meet
a
level
to
get
out
with
a
certificate,
but
we'll
get
you
in
and
of
course,
we
offer
remediation
and
mentoring
and
all
that
kind
of
stuff
to
help
the
person
through
the
process
right.
Our
goal
is
to
get
you
graduated
again
opportunity
to
provide
National
workplace
competencies,
we'll
give
you
the
opportunity,
but,
as
I
tell
my
students,
you
got
to
take
it
right,
you
got
to
take
it.
We
don't
give
these
things
out
because
we
have
a
high
standard
and
none
of
you
want
somebody.
B
B
B
That
now
now
I
want
it
now
now
peace
is
still
very
much
an
issue
for
a
Workforce
Development
situation,
because
again
back
to
that
time,
so
two
things
that
I
need
right
in
order
to
get
better
at
what
we
do.
So
we
can
get
people
to
you
and
you
can
continue
with
your
business
and
grow
your
business
or
just
sustain
it
because
I
know
speaking
with
business
partners
right
now.
It's
tough
to
find
just
about
anybody.
Even
a
quality,
Administrative
Assistant
I
struggle
with
that
I'll
get
a
clear
position
open
right
now.
B
It's
it's
so
hard
to
find
quality
people
so
one
we
have
to
get
the
word
out
and
break
the
stigma
if
you
will
or
to
give
the
people
the
information
about
what
it
is
that
we
do
free
know
that,
but
you
gotta
work
and
you
have
plenty
of
opportunity
placement
rates
above
90
overall
for
the
college.
So,
basically,
if
you
finish
your
certificate
program,
you
will
get
a
job.
If
you
want
it
pretty
much
guaranteed
Now.
Is
it
going
to
be?
You
know
what
the
student
wants,
which
is
the
lawyer
salary?
B
No,
but
we'll
get
you
started
on
that
track.
You
guys
know
and
I
said,
and
at
least
this
is
what
I've
been
told
that
you
know
it's
about
a
six
eight
month
test
run
and
that
person's
quality,
the
whole
dynamic
changes
and
you're
going
to
help
them
get
kind
of
salary
to
keep
them,
because
you
need
a
talent.
At
least
this
is
what
I've
been
I'm
being
told.
B
B
But
it's
going
to
also
teach
our
current
employees
in
the
automotive
field,
how
to
upskill
their
electrical
knowledge.
I
get
an
advantage
here,
because
I
came
from
that
world.
I
love
the
electricity
and
engine
performance,
but
a
lot
of
guys,
mostly
guys,
get
stuck
because
that
stuff,
you
know,
you
can't
see
it.
You
just
you
gotta
trust,
your
meter.
B
You
got
to
trust
your
mind
that
electricity
is
working,
that
electrons
are
flowing,
so
they
get
stuck
and
they
just
get
stuck
in
the
loop
technician
or
low
level
technician,
Parts,
swapper
kind
of
job,
and
they
can't
get
to
that
A-Tech
level,
because
they'll
be
electric
pieces
that
they
don't
understand.
So
we've
designed
this
program
to
take
care
of
that
problem.
So
currently
the
employees
and
our
own
gentleman's
here
from
an
auto
shop.
If
he's
got
a
couple
of
employees
that
are
struggling
with
electronics.
B
Well,
one
year
two
nights
a
week
about
150
hours,
total
of
instruction
we'll
get
you
through
that
we'll
teach
you
how
to
fix
those
electrical
systems
on
those
cars
and
then
you
can
Propel
yourself.
That's
another
way.
We
do
it.
It's
called
an
apprenticeship
and
I'll
touch
in
that
just
a
little
bit
more,
but
I
want
to
finish
up
with
what
I
need
from
you
guys.
So
one
talk
to
people
and
say:
look
you're
sitting
at
home,
stop
sitting
at
home.
You
got
talent,
you're,
a
smart
person
go
check
it
out.
B
We
got
some
form
by
the
way
my
enrollment
is
up.
So,
as
I
mentioned
regarding
the
covet
piece,
there's
some
programs
I'm
having
a
really
hard
time
to
get
C's.
So
I'm,
not
here
asking
you
guys,
say
any
people,
because
you
know
I'm
concerned
no,
it's
quite
the
opposite.
I
want
the
right.
People
I
want
people
that
really
want
to
be
to
technicians,
electricians,
plumbers
and
so
on,
and
so
on.
That's
who
I'm
looking
for
and
two
take
some
time
get
involved.
We
have
a
mentoring
program,
for
example
an
hour
a
month.
B
B
B
We
are
so
about
over
half
of
my
students,
I
think
it's
58
right
now
are
44
or
younger,
so
same
things
going
on
there,
which
is,
which
is
good,
but
we
we're
here
to
help
everybody
I
have
a
lot
of
career
changes
as
well
as
I
mentioned
folks
that
tried
something
and
they're
coming
back
and
saying.
Okay,
I
need
to
do
something
a
little
bit
different.
B
What
else
can
we
do
for
you
guys?
We
have
an
employee
PTC
program,
so
if
you're
interested
in
being
part
of
having
your
organization
on
the
website
with
the
so
the
students
can
see
that
you're
engaged,
we
can
swap
logos.
We'll
put
you
up
there
link
it
to
your
web
page.
We
also
have
an
online
job
board.
That's
only
for
our
students
and
alumni,
it's
password
protected.
You
could
post
your
job,
that's
all
free
or
public
school,
and
you
know
you
can
post
your
jobs
on
that
job
board.
B
My
students
look
for
those
jobs
and
it's
all
categorized,
so
automotive's
got
section
these
also
on
nursing,
etc,
etc.
So
we
have
a
lot
of
the
systems
to
get
you
guys
in
front
of
the
students
I
just
I'm,
just
asking
for
a
little
bit
of
time
to
help
us
spread
the
word
about
it.
So
we
can
continue
generating
the
students.
B
So
we
graduate
about
800
students
annually
about
20
per
technology
annually,
we're
taking
students
five
times,
so
we're
always
graduating.
So
that's
another
challenge.
I
have
because
it's
not
a
traditional
College.
Where
does
a
graduating
class
in
the
spring
we
have
graduates
all
the
time,
we're
a
competency-based
school.
So
once
they
get
done
with
it,
buy
it
you're
out.
Let's
help
you
get
a
job,
so
it's
not
like
just
oh
I
gotta
go
hit
up.
Ptc
in
the
spring
would
always
getting
people
that
are
ready
to
graduate.
B
A
B
Thank
you
for
that.
So
as
part
of
our
accreditation,
which
is
the
Council
on
occupational
education,
it's
an
international
creation
agency
that
allows
us
to
offer
financial
aid.
They
check
to
make
sure
that
we
do
what
we're
supposed
to
be
doing.
You
guys
might
remember
Corinthian
Colleges
10
15
years
ago.
They
got
in
some
major
trouble
because
they
were
taking
students,
Grant
dollars
and
not
actually
providing
education.
B
So
these
guys
prevent
us
from
doing
that
and
the
council
is
made
up
of
folks
like
me,
so
I
travel
around
the
country
and
check
on
other
schools,
so
part
of
that
requirement
is
we
have
a
school
advisory
committee
which
is
professionals
like
you?
You
guys
see
The
Five-Year
Plan
we
adjust
based
on
what's
going
on
talk
about
what
instructional
school
is
going
and
you
can
provide
input,
that's
how
the
mentorship
program
was
born
and
some
other
things
and
then
the
other
piece
is
an
occupational
advisory
Council.
That
is
at
the
program
level.
B
Okay,
so
we
talked
about
it
and
we
bought
a
CNC
router
and
we're
teaching
our
cabinet
makers
how
to
do
CNC
routing
because
that's
part
of
the
industry,
but
prior
to
that
we
were
just
teaching
them
all
the
manual
tools.
So
that's
part
of
that
process
to
make
sure
that
we
stay
on
board
as
much
as
I
like
doing
this
kind
of
stuff.
You
know,
most
of
our
time
is
spent
at
the
school
managing
the
systems
to
make
the
school
operate.
So
thank
you
for
that
question.
Sure.
A
And
one
other
thing
and
you
touched
on,
it
was
two
programs
that
you
started,
and
this
is
one
of
the
things
that
the
chamber
is
trying
to
develop.
You
mentioned
it
earlier
about
relationships
and
that,
unlike
a
traditional
College,
you
know
you
go
to
school
and
you
learn
the
curriculum
that
they
have
and
that's
that.
A
Think
probably
a
lot
of
our
industry
leaders
probably
all
use
some
of
the
basic
Technologies
and
then,
if
you,
as
you
said,
you
know
you
get
them
for
six
or
eight
months
and
if
they
work
out
and
they
show
up,
you
know
those
are
the
tough
things
that
you'll
then
train
them
to
do
further
that.
But
how
do
they?
How
do
we
connect
them
to
you
to
develop
the
programs
that
help
them
with
their
talent,
pipeline
yeah,.
B
Thank
you
for
that
that
reminds
me
of
the
apprenticeship
piece.
I
wanted
to
touch
on
a
little
bit
deeper,
so
yeah,
just
just
just
get
with
me,
come
come
to
a
tour,
we'll
chat
and
then
we'll
start.
The
conversation
I
said
we're
Public
Schools,
but
we're
very
light.
Mr
Mark
Hunt
is
the
executive
director
for
Career
Technical
and
adult
education,
so
he
reports
assistant,
superintendent
for
teaching
and
learning,
and
then
myself
and
Mr
Norwood
at
the
St
P
campus
are
the
two
directors.
B
B
We
can
make
adjustments
to
the
curriculum.
As
I
mentioned,
the
Composites
program
was
built
from
scratch,
so
that
didn't
exist.
So
we
did
that
based
on
work
with
folks,
like
you
sat
around
table,
what
does
it
mean
to
be
a
composite
technician
and
we
went
through
that
and
then
we
built
a
program
submitted
to
the
state
six
months
later
we
got
approval,
and
here
we
are
up
and
running,
so
we
could
do
more
of
that
now
very
exciting
piece
that
we
just
finished.
B
Is
we
petitioned
the
state
to
allow
us
to
be
a
sponsor
of
an
apprenticeship?
This
is
a
registered
Florida
registered
apprenticeship.
Now,
what's
key
here.
Is
that,
typically,
if
you
think
of
apprenticeships,
I,
don't
know
well
I
like
how
people
engaged?
What's
in
a
if
I,
say
apprenticeship,
what
trade
comes
to
mind,
anybody
told.
A
B
B
B
B
B
You
guys
have
a
workshop
right
to
make
the
tools.
Just
that
could
be
one
year.
Apprenticeship
I
have
a
full
machine
shop,
I'm,
not
doing
tool
making
as
an
example.
So
I
don't
know
how
popular
this
is
going
to
be,
and
some
people
may
put
a
Target
on
me
because
I'm
looking
to
kind
of
change
the
way
that
we're
delivering
this
instruction,
because
our
students
don't
want
to
wait
three
years,
we're
missing
the
now
now
piece
right
there
by
saying
you
have
to
go
three
years
for
an
apprenticeship
and
the
kids.
B
The
student
is
like
sorry
I
just,
but
you
can't
get
away
from
the
kids
thing.
You
know
the
student
is
saying:
why
can't
I?
Do
this
faster,
so
give
me
a
reason:
why
not
I'm
not
a
tool
maker,
so
I'm,
not
the
one
who's
going
to
tell
them
no
tool
making
can't
does
not
have
to
be
three
years,
but
if
you
say
so,
no
we
can
do
this
in
two
years.
B
We
can
we
have
that
ability
by
the
state
right
now,
that's
brand
new
for
us,
so
we're
very
excited
about
that
and
the
automotive
piece
is
the
first
one
that
we're
doing
without
the
electrician
electrical
Vehicles
apprenticeship.
So
that's
another
Avenue
another
possibility,
that's
very,
very
easy
to
implement,
but.
E
B
A
Awesome
any
questions
from
the
room,
so
Dr
Prokop
talked
about
coming
down
to
the
Pinellas
Technical
College
I
encourage
you
to
do
that.
I've
been
down
there,
Jason's
been
down
there,
it's
amazing,
you
know
and
whether
it's
cosmetology
or
culinary
school
or
you
know
some
of
our
industrial
areas
definitely
go
down
there.
But
Dr
Prokop
has
also
come
up
here
and
visited
some
of
our
businesses
and
I.
A
Welcome
you
to
reach
out
to
me
and
I
can
coordinate
that
and
because
I
think
it
does
a
lot
of
good
for
you
to
see
his
campus
and
how
professional
it
is.
But
I
think
it's
also
important
for
Dr
Prokop
to
come
and
see
exactly
what
you
do
and
what
your
special
needs
might
be
and
and
how
we
can
build
that
relationship
between
our
business
community
and
the
schools.
So
any
questions
from
anyone.
Any
of
our
manufacturers
that
have
any
questions.
I
know
I.
I
A
E
Exactly
right,
what
out
of
curiosity
I
know
for
us
when
the
terms
that
I
always
use
is
we're
not
mechanics,
we're
Automotive
professionals
and
it
sounds
like-
and
this
might
just
be
more
of
a
statement
than
anything
else,
but
it
sounds
like
what
you
guys
are
doing
is
really
fostering
that
that
trades
are
not
the
down
and
dirty
jobs
that
they
used
to
be
that
we
are
professionals,
I
mean
I,
have
advanced
degrees
and
I
made
my
money.
I
came
out
of
college
to
change,
tires
and
now
I
own
businesses
yeah.
B
Yeah
I
think
I
really
appreciate
that,
but
it
just
means
the
world
to
me
to
to
have
folks
that
understand
that
concept,
I'm
I'm,
so
passionate
about
it
and
my
my
standard
is
extremely
high
for
my
students
and
my
staff,
because
I
left
when
I
left
the
automotive
industry
mind
you
I
was
only
doing
service.
Writing
and
I
took
a
50
pay
cut
to
go,
get
into
education.
B
It
took
me
10
years
and
a
master's
degree
to
make
the
kind
of
money
that
I
was
making
when
I
left
the
automotive
profession
and
I
was
home.
I
was
only
service.
Writing
I
mean
I
stopped
working
on
cars
because
they
needed
me
the
service
right
their
vacancy.
They
was
about
four
months.
They
couldn't
feel
anybody.
They
said
you've
done
all
this
stuff,
you
know
all
the
warranty.
Can
you
slide
in
I'm
like
well,
I
I'll,
try
anything
you
know
so.
B
My
point,
though,
is
that
I
completely
understand
that
and
that's
why
I
have
such
a
high
standard
and
a
high
requirement
for
my
staff.
It
does
two
things
for
me,
though
one
I
don't
have
any
problems
with
my
staff
or
my
students,
because
everybody
knows
that
these
are
the
rules.
So
it's
just
that
it's
literally
it's
black
and
white.
This
is
the
level
we
perform,
and
this
is
what
we
do
and
that's
it
and
if
you
don't
well,
we
have
a
difficult
conversation
and
change
your
behavior
and
everybody's
good.
B
You
know
it's,
it's
not
personal.
We
just
look
at
your
behavior
just
because
you
messed
up
doesn't
make
you
a
bad
person
right.
Just
you
just
messed
up,
so
that's,
okay,
let's
fix
it
and
let's
keep
going
and
two
I
want
to
install
my
students
that
you
know
sky's
the
limit,
the
sky's,
the
limit
I,
never
thought
working
on
cars
that
I'd,
you
know
be
a
director
of
you
know
one
of
the
largest
colleges,
technical
colleges
in
the
state.
I
mean
I've,
never
thought
that
across
mine
I'm,
just
like.
I
B
I'm
Gonna
Leave,
the
automotive
industry
and
enter
education,
so
I
can
run
a
college,
not
just
kind
of
happened,
but
having
that
professional
attitude,
I
think
was
what
helped
me
a
lot
along
the
way,
understanding
how
important
relationships
are
and
I
want
to
instill
that,
in
my
students
and
my
staff
day
in
and
day
out,
my
goal
for
my
entire
staff
is
that
everybody
leads
to
better
jobs.
Right,
teach
yourself
out
of
a
job
kind
of
thing,
I
believe
in
that
wholeheartedly
right.
B
If
I
can
teach
them
all
to
be
directors,
then
I
can
go
and
do
something
else
and
I
still
know
the
schools
in
good
hands
so
that
that
permeates
my
entire
thinking
process.
When
it
comes
to
giving
directives
to
my
staff,
it's
like
how
can
you
get
better
every
day,
even
if
it's
just
a
little
bit
so
I
have
to
get
rid
of
you,
so
you
can
go
to
bigger
and
greater
things.
A
Awesome
so
if
there
aren't
any
other
questions,
I
I
just
want
to
re-emphasize
this
that
this
is
a
a
great
resource
right
here.
I
forgot
the
number
you
said,
but
basically
65
different
career
paths.
You
know
run
through
that
school,
which
is
fits
our
whole
Chamber
of
Commerce.
We
talked
a
lot
about
manufacturing
and
and
those
types
of
things,
but
there
are
a
lot
of
other
things
that
you
know
the
school
is
there
to
help
and
to
to
mold
it
and
make
it
fit
whatever
your
needs
are
in
the
community.
