Now What? Non-College Opportunities for High School Graduates

College is not the only choice for students, but students who do not choose college still need to think about and plan for the future. Program provides a step-by-step approach to exploring opportunities and preparing for life after high school. Taking advantage of their high school guidance department and career counseling services, students learn how to create individualized plans that optimize their talents, abilities and ambitions. The key is to open the door to the possibilities and understand the myriad of excellent choices available. Program focuses on young people who have opted for the non-college route and succeeded: Latesha is starting her career as a draftsman; Jonathan is a design engineer and operations manager for an automotive supply company; Enrique is training as a firefighter; Stella is opting for the US Air Force; Peter has become a journeyman electrician. A high school guidance counselor and a career expert add advice and perspective to help students prepare for their futures.
