Trade School Pathways for High School Students with Counselor Coral Prendergast
Host Tiffiny Webster welcomes Sage Oak High School counselor Coral Prendergast to discuss growing student interest in trade school pathway. Coral highlights common trade careers such as electrician, welder, construction, cosmetology, firefighter, and EMT, often available affordably through community colleges. She walks through a Trade School Resource Hub she and a team created, including a recorded parent webinar, community-college program search tools by career or by school, and industry-sector tabs with descriptions, certifications students can pursue in high school, and county-based listings of community colleges and private trade programs with cost, length, and links. They emphasize dual enrollment, early exploration starting in 9th grade, and how families can access the resources and schedule counseling support.
