What Comes Next After High School When a Four-Year College Isn’t the Answer, Right Now? - with Mary Alice McCarthy
In the first episode of our new podcast, "What's Next After High School?" which explores education pathways outside of four-year college that lead to rewarding careers and economic opportunity, we welcome Mary Alice McCarthy, Director of the Center on Education and Labor at New America. She answers a parent's question that cuts to the chase: What options outside of four-year college even exist after high school?
Mary Alice gives us a tour through the options that start within students' high schools and those that arise after students graduate with a spotlight on career and technical education, apprenticeships, community college and private college programs that prepare people for the skilled trades, military service that provides career training opportunities, and service years.
