Paid training is listed first. Money never moves a row.
The only order that matters
If a page has both apprenticeships and trade schools, the paid-training programs sit at the top. That is the whole rule.
We do this because year one is usually a paycheck on one path and a bill on the other. You can still read every program on the page.
After that
Within each group we prefer clearer cost, clearer wage, and a known open or waitlist status. Unknown seats stay unknown — we do not invent one.
What never changes the order
Ads. Partnerships. Clicks. Anyone offering to pay for a higher slot.
If a paid program ever sits above a paid apprenticeship, that is a mistake. Tell us. We will fix it.
