Yeah, thanks for having me on. I think, uh, there's a lot of things that ultimately gets a person to where they are today. Type of idea. Um and I think one of the biggest things is I I was one of those people who went to school to join a career field. That was, you know, not something that I was super passionate about, but something that was very stable, very secure, right? I started in health care, Andi. I through healthcare, you know, kind of always pretty, pretty talented with computers. I naturally started getting promotions and things because I entered the workforce right around the time where there was a big push to move everything to Elektronik, charting on dso with that and having some natural talent towards computers. Um, I started training people on how to training nurses on how to appropriately transition from like, paper charting to electronic charting on, then kind of got involved with programming through some of that eventually became like director of nursing on, then eventually started writing tools. Thio kind of help help the nurses that I was training back at that time. And, you know, so that was just kind of one of those things that, you know, got me early started on, you know, I was in health care, but I was already teaching and training towards, um, technical skills and things of that nature. And so I eventually decided that I was having a lot more fun writing tools and building applications, and I was being a nurse. It all on dso. I ended up switching careers on DSO. I switched careers, uh, into writing healthcare applications, healthcare software developer transition a little bit of my time into cybersecurity, and then ultimately decided that I would start code works, which is a training institution for helping individuals kind of make that same type of career transition where, you know, maybe they've started into one career path that they don't necessarily enjoy and are looking for a change on kind of how to fast track them. Because for me, it was a very long drawn out, you know, 33 to 4 year process just to switch career fields. And, uh, yeah, I decided that we could probably do that a lot faster with other individuals
Yeah. So the training programs that we offer it code works. Uh, primarily right now, we have a full stack software developer course, which is what I've application. Focus. So focus on JavaScript html CSS. And ultimately see sharp on the back end on kind of how you tie all those things together. Uh, that course in and of itself is a 13 week long program, which is it's a pretty intense course. It's Monday through Friday, 9 to 5 on DSO. Students kind of eat, sleep, breathe code during that time on DSO that is our primary course offering. That's where we have our career services and our bulk of our career assistance. And, um, how we ultimately get students placed with companies that we know, uh, here in Boise and various other locations where we have good connections
Yeah. So keeping curriculum up to date is definitely one of those things. It's a never ending task. The technology field is changing just drastically. Uh, it shifts all the time on day. One of the things that we do it code works, is we, uh well, we have a lot of really good relationships with employers around around us, and so we kind of pull them. And we asked them kind of Hey, what do you using? What do you need? Kind of what are your biggest wants on DSO? We make sure that we focus our curriculum around the skills that employers are actually looking to hire for that. Also being said, all of the instructors that code works were also developers. You know, a lot of us are programming, building applications, taking on site contracts and things that nature so actively working within the career field as well helps us, you know, helps us. His instructors also stay on top of the noon of coming changes
