Is college the only path after school?
Success Beyond College
College is great for some, but it's not the only way to succeed. The main worry with college is how expensive it can be compared to the returns you get out of it. On the flip side, many skilled trades offer apprenticeships where you get paid to learn from your employer!
Help your students explore exciting careers in the skilled trades where they can harness their unique strengths, enjoy unparalleled job satisfaction, earn impressive salaries, and avoid crippling student debt.
But are there any jobs in the market?
The Future Is Skilled
There's a significant gap in the skilled labor force. This means that industries are desperate for quality talent across all trades.
But why aren't many people choosing these careers? The main reason is that many high schoolers (and their parents!) aren't fully aware of the opportunities trade careers offer and lack guidance on how to begin!
