College & Career Planning 

Graduates have a variety of opportunities available to them as they pursue future education, training, and career goals. While college is often one of the most recognized options, it is only one of many pathways available after high school.

Career pathways may include colleges and universities, technical and trade schools, apprenticeships, workforce training and certification programs, military service, entrepreneurship, and direct employment. Each pathway offers unique opportunities for learning, skill development, career preparation, and professional growth.

Some careers require a college degree, while others may be entered through technical training, industry certifications, apprenticeships, military training, or workforce experience. The educational and training requirements for a career often depend on the occupation, industry, and professional qualifications associated with that field.

As students explore future possibilities, learning about the different pathways available after high school can help them better understand the various routes individuals take to prepare for careers and workforce opportunities. Exploring these options can also help students identify pathways that align with their interests, strengths, and long-term goals.

The pathway a student chooses after high school will depend on individual goals, interests, and career objectives. By exploring the opportunities available, students can make informed decisions about the path that best supports their future goals.
