Common questions
How can a trade school reach high school students?
13th Year™ places your programs on college and career kiosks inside partner high schools, where students explore trades alongside college, military and careers, and choose to connect with your school.
Do students actually use it?
Yes. Thousands of students interact with 13th Year™ kiosks every day to explore their future. They browse colleges, trades, military service, scholarships and careers right in the hallways of the schools they already attend, and together they have logged more than 211,000 student interactions so far.
Does 13th Year™ only promote four-year colleges?
No. Students explore four pathways in one place: college, skilled trades and technical programs, military service and direct-to-workforce careers.
