From Aleteia:
You might have heard some buzz about San Damiano College for the Trades, a new school in the process of opening in Springfield, Illinois.
The school is part of a growing renaissance of the skilled trades among young people, many of whom feel that the debt burden and iffy job market make a four-year college degree a poor bargain. San Damiano College’s website articulates its unusual but inspiring mission, as students will study great books and the Catholic intellectual tradition alongside technical instruction and on-the-job training in a trade.
