Episode Synopsis

Tidewater Community College and The Chesapeake City Schools have joined forces to create a dual enrollment program where students can simultaneously earn both high school and college credits as well as industry certifications that allow students to exit high school and enter directly into a career field. Students often go to work for companies that further fund educational initiatives thus allowing students to complete degrees with no or minimal school debt. Eric J Beaver, Instructor in the TCC Mechatronics Program discusses the benefits to the dual enrollment program.
