Preparing Today’s Youth for Tomorrow’s Jobs Starts by Bridging the Skills Gap.

The Challenge

There is a common misconception being held that if you don’t go to college you aren’t going to be successful, but that misconception couldn’t be further from the truth. In today’s highly technical and service-related market, workers are judged more on their skills then their degrees. With the national average of student debt pushing towards 1.4 trillion and the need for skilled workers increasing over the next decade the career path into a new-collar job is now.
