Did you know there are already around 5.7 million electric vehicles (EVs) on the road? And with EV sales hitting new records in 2025, the need for skilled technicians is growing fast.

Today’s auto careers go beyond engines! You’ll need to understand batteries, electronics, and EV systems. That means more opportunities for those ready to learn new, high-demand skills.

Velkommen hjem, Dr. Kristyn VanderWaal Mills!

We’re so excited to have Dr. VanderWaal Mills back after an amazing year in Denmark as SPC’s very first Fulbright U.S. Scholar. She spent her time at Københavns Professionshøjskole diving into lab-based programs and soaking up a wide range of new ideas.

Now she’s back home, and we can’t wait to hear all about it and see how her experiences bring fresh inspiration to SPC!

What can we learn from how Denmark prepares students for STEM careers?

After a year abroad, Fulbright Scholar Kristyn VanderWaal Mills brought back insights that could help strengthen programs at Saint Paul College. From virtual global learning to hands-on lab experience, the goal is simple: help students clearly connect what they learn in class to real careers.

When students can see the “why” behind their education, confidence and success follow.
