Career-Technical Pathways for
high school grads
High school graduates looking at their
options may be unaware of the multitude of
career-technical pathways open to them. And
those who leave high school without a
diploma need to know that they have in no
way reached a dead end.
Two
EdSource publications speak directly to
these students, offering guidance in Q&A
format:
About to Graduate from High
School? Consider Career Education
Opportunities.
This 4-page Q&A contains a wealth of
information about career-technical
opportunities available after high school
and how to evaluate them. It answers
questions that include: Who can help me
decide which career-technical program to
choose? Who offers these programs? How much
do they cost? Is there scholarship money
available? Included are a host of web
addresses for resources that can help.

No High School Diploma? You've
Got Options!
"Don't give up," urges this 2-page Q&A,
directed to students who are done with high
school but didn't graduate. The questions it
answers include: How can I still get a
diploma? Is there a way to get a diploma
without taking the exit exam? Do I need a
diploma to go to college?
