Speaker 3
Teester, maybe it makes sense tho kind of go through the the the life a student, the
Speaker 1
just aljust finish off by saying, you know, after that first year, kids will be able too. The students will be able to earn enough money where they can pay forward each quarter. So after that, it it's a completely different financial game for them. Ri
Speaker 4
oer, it's the trade training. And that first year, the idea, our goal, is to make it so that a student, after completing that year, will be able to be on the job side and be helpful, right? I mean, that's one of those things that sometimes, even on the job side, it takes somebody six months to a year to just not be likeit, as you said, in the way, for somebody to kind of anticipate what theyre goin to be called to do on the job side and how they're they're going to be helpful right out of the gate. So i think contractors are going to lote us, ye, because as the students gon and work for people there, they'll show up with some skill
Speaker 1
las ca be extremely helpful. But also that first year, as you said, i mean, your your your freemina, the
Speaker 3
the idea, like you were saying, is to combine the head and the hands here and so and so as in that as you're learning the trades, and in the first year, when you're just learning, like the basics, getting your head around how to use the tools and what to dodn that kind of thing, then you're simultaneously in the class room learning. And we have a curriculum that is really a, a rather a rather robust curriculum in the catholic intellectual tradition as a whole. But it has certain focuses, and that is that, you know, the ideal, the idea here, of course, is to produce, to produce, or t to to form, i guess it's a better word, to produce th duce a a highly capable, highly functioning, flourishing lay people who are going to go out and work. And so the curriculum is really structured around that. Like, what what are the things that a catholic lay person should be an expert on? What should they know about? And so it focuses on on a, mean, it focuses on on on politics, on a family, on work. But then in order to kind of become master of those things, there's literature, there's history, there's economics, right? There's all but the point is to form, is to form that that mind that goes along with the skill, in order to go out into the world and be just a dynamic, high, high functioning and happy layman. That's
Speaker 2
the idea. I never heard the idea that the layman had a particular field for their vocation. I know that's maybe very basic. Of course, the vocation is not just like an endless or limitless, a sort of abstract, do whatever you want. Ped ou forget this? No, i did, because as a lay icca, priests do this, religious do this, and lay people all do whatever. I mean,
Speaker 1
anverse of the monastic vowso imen they're taking vows of poverty. They're taking vows of chastity, they're taking vows of obedience. What do you eflip those around? I mean, the vow of poverty, that is like, work, war, economics. What about chastity? That' fami, family life, obedience? Well, i mean, we gout to hae
