Lumion reports that trade school enrollment is projected to grow around 6.6% annually compared to 0.8% for higher education overall.

Lumion is the all-in-one operating system for career and trade schools — built to simplify operations, boost enrollment, and improve student outcomes. From lead capture to graduation, Lumion powers every stage of the student lifecycle. Our platform combines CRM, student onboarding, payment processing, financing tools, and outcome tracking — all in one integrated system, with AI agents working alongside your admissions team around the clock. WHY SCHOOLS SWITCH Most career-school students never touch federal financial aid. Roughly 61% train outside Title IV, which means financing isn't a back-office function — it's admissions. Lumion is NMLS licensed in [49] states, so schools can offer their own payment plans properly, and we service them in-house rather than selling the debt on. We were a payments company for five years before we were a software company. That order is why the money side works. WHO WE SERVE 400+ career and trade schools across 20+ industries — cosmetology, CDL and trucking, dental assisting, allied health, welding, coding, cyber security and more. Most are single-campus schools run by owners who worked in the trade before they taught it.
