The demographic of Skyline is diverse, and many students come to the College and Career Center seeking guidance, academic assistance, and reassurance, often asking for snacks to help them get through the school day. For some students, these snacks ensure they do not go hungry during class, helping them stay awake, focused, and ready to learn rather than feeling distracted or sleepy.

The creative freedom and real-world relevance of the work make the process engaging and empowering.\r\n\r\nStudents have grown increasingly comfortable with the technology and now use the equipment with confidence during podcast production.
