Have you heard of [flex start](https://jjc.edu/flex-start) classes? Formerly labeled as "late start," JJC's flex start classes allow you to begin your course after the semester start date. They have a shorter duration than a regular, 16-week class and usually last between eight to 14 weeks. You can register for them at any time - even weeks after the semester has started.

Here are a few things we think you should know about these flexible classes:

Did you know that goal setting [decreases procrastination and helps you focus](https://www.codeofliving.com/goals/5-powerful-reasons-why-goal-setting-important)? It may seem like something small, but working toward a goal is a powerful tool for productivity. Even if your goal is simple (like practicing meditation once a week or to drink more water), you'll still benefit because you're [establishing healthy habits](https://fs.blog/2017/06/habits-vs-goals/).  

Want to create a goal for this semester? Take a look at our list below for ideas!

## [Why Career-Based Education is Thriving & 5 Careers You Can Train For at JJC](https://blog.jjc.edu/why-career-based-education-is-thriving-and-5-careers-you-can-train-for-at-jjc)

****What is Career-Based Education?****  
JJC, other community colleges and trade schools offer a number of degrees, certificates and programs that are considered career-based education (or just "[career education](https://learn.org/articles/What_is_Career_Education.html)"). What do these programs have in common? They all aim to get students into the workforce immediately after they graduate. Many of these programs are technical-focused, like [automotive service technology](http://www.jjc.edu/academics/technical-education/automotive-service-technology)or [welding](http://www.jjc.edu/academics/technical-education/welding-technology), but many are not, like [diagnostic medical sonography](http://www.jjc.edu/academics/health-and-public-services/diagnostic-medical-sonography) or [radiologic technology](http://www.jjc.edu/academics/health-and-public-services/radiologic-technology). 

****Why Career-Based Education is Thriving****  
It's no secret that [career-based education is thriving](https://www.cblohm.com/blog/public-relations/career-technical-education-rise/). Many of the career paths you can study for are in need of more employees (in part due to a retiring workforce for some fields). Several industries pay their staff well and because students can get training for these jobs at community colleges and trade schools in two years or less, it's both a popular and affordable way to start a new career.

Check out our list below to see five careers you can study for at JJC, or browse our [A to Z index](http://www.jjc.edu/academics) for more career-based education fields.
