That's their stated goal, but their staffing suggests a truer revealed goal, which is political rather than practical: they aren't accredited to offer a degree, the degree they offer isn't valuable in the trades they hope to serve, they don't have instructors with credentials in the trades, and they cost more than a community college. What they do have is a founder and coterie of teaching fellows that share a peculiar ideology.

By way of example: "electrician" is one of their 5 trades, and they have no listed electrician faculty.
