Where do I go from here?

This might be a familiar question, especially with all the changes lately in our world, and our way of life.

You may be thinking about your future after school…or you’re re-entering the workforce after a break…or you’re a Veteran looking for new workplace training…or you just want a job that you can look forward to each day.

What’s the next step?

For decades, we’ve been told to get good grades, graduate, go to college, graduate with a degree, get a good job, move up the corporate ladder.

That isn’t how everyone is wired.

That doesn’t have to be the path for everyone to have career success.

A college degree is an admirable, aspirational goal; although it comes with a load of student loan debt to pay off as well. What if your interests change after all that coursework? There’s no guarantee that you’ll land a job in the areas of your degree expertise.

Serving in the U.S. Armed Forces is an honorable tour of duty; but the military job doesn’t always match civilian jobs when you come off active duty. How do you transfer your skills into a new career?

Some people learn by doing. They love tackling problems, trying solutions, learning from experiments, and making the world a better place during the process.

So…What is the Next Career Step for You?

Employers want candidates who have some training in basic skills, are eager to learn, and focused on making a difference in their position. Where do you find the training needed for this?

If only there were ways to introduce and explore career paths at an early age.

If only there were “middle steps” to take you from one stage of employment life to another.

If only there were mini certifications that helped you land a local job; and those certifications could help towards a higher degree when you’re ready.
