Podcasts about trade schools

Are high school graduates better off picking up a welding torch instead of a college textbook? As demand grows for skilled labor, more students—and their parents—are questioning whether the traditional college-for-all model still makes sense. Is it time to stop treating college as the default path? Steve Klein, a researcher at Education Northwest, talks to The Excerpt about the benefits and biases around trade careers, the reality of financial independence without a four-year degree, and how schools can better prepare students for the future.Read more: https://tinyurl.com/492enhtk See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What's going on with the new trade high school in Newark? The district will spend over $300 million across 30 years, far more than expected, and delays have been caused by wage-related stop-work orders. While it's set to open this fall with trade programs, parts of the building like the gym and auditorium may not be finished until 2026.​

In this conversation, John Harcar interviews Clayton Abernathy, who shares his entrepreneurial journey from being a professional clown to becoming a successful real estate agent and business owner. They discuss the importance of skilled trades, the challenges faced in the industry, and the establishment of a trade school to address the skills gap. Clayton provides insights into real estate flipping, emphasizing the need for proper financial planning and understanding of the market. He also highlights the significance of vocational training and the potential for high earnings in the trades.

In this episode, Adam and Dr. Drew kick things off by discussing French President Macron's public slap and how that moment mirrors a broader cultural trend of declining impulse control. They unpack Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett's viral code-switching moment, the new Paul Reubens documentary, and revisit the media-fueled hysteria surrounding homosexuality in the 1980s.Adam shares his optimism over Trump's proposed plan to reallocate a $3 billion endowment toward trade schools, and the guys debate the difference between pushing back on bad ideas and being labeled as “obsessed.” They also explore how narcissism fuels Trump Derangement Syndrome, and why society may be on the brink of what Adam calls a full-blown "borderline era."Thank you for supporting our sponsors:BetOnlinePluto.TvSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Marc & Kim welcome Ryan Wiggins in studio on Tax Day, where he unleashes a blistering critique of the American tax system—from the unfair delays in government refunds to the complex and costly filing process that burdens working Americans. Wiggins highlights staggering wealth disparities, citing data that shows 50% of Americans own zero stock market assets and are drowning in debt. He argues the real fix lies in rebuilding America's workforce by prioritizing trade education over bloated, ideologically driven universities. The crew agrees: skilled trades are becoming the new six-figure path, and conservatives need to lead the charge to shift funding and policy in that direction.

Marc & Kim kick off with FOX 2's Elliot Davis, who reveals an attempt by Board of Aldermen President Megan Green to block him from City Hall after a hard-hitting exposé. Davis exposes the backdoor politics, potential new media restrictions, and questions if Mayor Cara Spencer will really differ from Tishaura Jones. Taxpayers Protection Alliance's David McGarry warns that expiring Trump tax cuts could slam small businesses while D.C. gridlock stalls relief. Ryan Wiggins slams the bloated tax system and calls for trade schools to take center stage over elite universities. Finally, the crew mocks AOC's fake accents and Bernie's socialist sermon at Coachella—while warning that the real Democrat threats are the quiet, polished 2028 contenders.

The amazing people we talked to in the Ivoclar (https://www.ivoclar.com/en_us) Ballroom during the 40th anniversary of LMT Lab Day Chicago just keep coming and this week we have a stellar line up. First up is Eric Kukucka. Eric came on the podcast years ago to talk about his multiple denturist practices in Canada. But he has since sold them and has joined the Aspen Dental (https://www.aspendental.com/) group as their Vice President of Clinical Removable Prosthetics & Design Technologies. Eric talks about going from making dentures for hundreds of patients to working with a team to produce quality dentures for millions. Then we chat with Chelsea Homire, who has years of dental assistant experience, but when given the oppritunity to learn the in-office lab work, she took off. With a passion for printing, Chelsea is now teaching other offices (and even a few labs) how they can optimize their digital workflow. We wrap up the episode with Brittany Mitchell. You might know her becuase she designed (and made the denture) on our "Just Say No to Brushing" shirt, but she's also a talented removable technician. Brittany talks about starting in at the front desk, drawing a picture that got notices and placed in the lab, falling in love with it, and making digital dentures for a 12 doctor dental group. Don't miss this incredible webinar with Tanya Little, a dentist from beautiful Vancouver, Canada. We would like to invite you to a special webinar that she's hosting with Ivoclar (https://www.ivoclar.com/en_us) and LMT (https://lmtmag.com/) on Wednesday, May 7th, titled "Reflections from a Denturist: 20 Years of Crafting Dentures!". In this program, she will review the incredible history of removables with Ivoclar and focus on the new and exciting evolution based print resin and of course, the PM7. Her goal is to provide you with several key takeaways that will allow you to work smarter and not harder. You can join on May 7th by registering at https://lmtmag.com/webinars/reflections-from-a-denturist-20-years-of-crafting-dentures Are you a dental lab in need of more talent to improve your bottom line and keep production on schedule? Are you a dental tech with great skills but feel you're being limited at your current lab? Well, the answer is here and this is precisely why WIN WIN GO (https://www.winwingo.com/) was created. The dental lab and dental tech community needed a place where labs and technicians can meet, talk about their needs and connect in ways that foster a win win outcome. As a tech. If you're ready to make a change, thinking about moving in the next year or just curious what's out there, sign up today. It's totally free. As a lab, you might be feeling the frustration of paying the big employment site so much and getting so few tech candidates. We understand they don't much care about our industry.

Want to make bank without the bank breaking you? Anglo-Saxon poetry enthusiast Nick Pell weighs trades against degrees on this week's Skeptical Sunday! On This Week's Skeptical Sunday, We Discuss: While college graduates earn more on average ($77,000/year) compared to trade school graduates ($67,000/year) and high school graduates ($47,000/year), this comes with significant student loan debt — averaging $37,000 for a bachelor's degree. There's a severe shortage of skilled trade workers in America, with examples like a deficit of 500,000 plumbers and an anticipated shortage of 1.9 million manufacturing jobs, suggesting strong job security and demand in these fields. Advanced degrees show diminishing returns — a master's degree costs an average of $65,000 and only provides about a 16% salary increase, while a doctorate costs $127,000 for grad school alone with relatively modest income gains. The college versus trade school decision isn't purely financial — it should factor in personal aptitudes, desired lifestyle, and how someone wants to spend roughly one-third of their adult life working. There are multiple paths to success, and you can make informed choices by: taking a "gap year" to work and explore interests, completing general education requirements at more affordable community colleges, researching program costs versus expected salaries, and considering apprenticeships which have doubled since 2013 and offer paid training opportunities.
