The business of trade schools.

A free weekly email for people who run trade schools. Funding, enrollment, and compliance — in 5 minutes a week.

What you get every Tuesday

Five short sections. Nothing you have to wade through.

  • The Money — grant programs, WIOA and workforce funding updates, and application deadlines worth money per student

  • The Playbook — one enrollment or operations tactic, broken into steps you can run this week

  • The Rules — compliance and regulation in plain English, including which updates you can safely ignore

  • The Numbers — one data point on enrollment, tuition, or placement, with the context that makes it useful

  • Operator Move of the Week — one smart thing a school did this week, in about 100 words

Plus a monthly Operator Spotlight: a deeper profile of one school owner — what they're doing well, and the lesson you can steal.

Who it's for

Owners and operators of trade and technical schools. Workforce training directors. Anyone thinking about opening a school and wanting to understand the business first.

Who it's not for

Students shopping for a program, job seekers, or anyone looking for career advice. This is written for the people who run the schools.

The deal

Free. One email a week, Tuesday mornings. About five minutes to read. No spam, no list-selling, no 12-email "funnel" when you sign up. Unsubscribe anytime with one click.
