The Challenge
A degree isn’t the only path to success. This outdated mindset isn’t meeting the needs of young people or the modern workforce.
The Opportunity
Young people are looking for more learning opportunities after high school that lead to well-paid, meaningful careers. Employers are struggling to attract talent but need to know how to evaluate candidates with valuable career skills and no degrees.
We can build a future that works for all of us. From short-term, stackable credentials to a myriad of other non-degree paths, reliable options that lead to promising careers and great skills already exist.
It’s time we embrace them.
Get the resources to get started.
