Many options for good jobs and careers are available for young people. Four year or two-year college, apprenticeship programs, one-year certificate programs and more choices are available. My office has been working to increase awareness of the many options including skilled trades. Young adults should consider the many options beyond high school. We created this Branches to Success card with more information to show students and their parents the possibilities of many different educational paths to a successful career.
