T
Let's be honest for a moment. We all desire for our children to grow, learn, and be provided the best education possible. We want our kids to desire fields such as medicine, law, or even technology. We've shunned away the idea of children being successful through a specific trade. But why? It's now time to embrace the idea that Trades Aren't Taboo!
That have a genuine desire for success in an "untraditional" field of business.
Who want to be provided with tools and resources to help them succeed in their desired trade.
Kids who are wanting hands-on experience with professionals in their field guiding and mentoring them.
Who want to be shown different avenues of achievement.
Tools and Resources are provided to kids who are wanting to take a different avenue for success. They will be guided by various business mentors, educators, and professionals.
