"What's the next step in my future?"

For many people, the answer to this question includes education and training. But what kind of program? How long will it take, where do they obtain it, can they afford it, and will they complete it? And, of course, what jobs will it lead to?

 

This clear and practical guide introduces routes for postsecondary education and training, explains why postsecondary education is a must, and covers the connection between careers and education.

 

It gives readers an overview of the pros and cons of education and training options, including apprenticeships, on-the-job training, vocational training, and college degrees.

 

The booklet/workbook offers guidance on choosing a program that matches your career goals, paying for school, avoiding scams, learning online, and more. Skill development, informal learning, and lifelong learning are also covered.

 

Quick Education and Training Options Guide is ideal for individuals at a crossroads, including dislocated workers, the underemployed, high school students, at-risk youth, and TANF program participants.
