Rethinking the Classroom to Career Continuum in the US

There are almost 24,000 public high schools in the United States with over 17 million students. With only 61.4% of graduates enrolling in college, that still leaves millions of young people every year looking for a pathway to prosperity.

Fortunately, there are millions of well-paying skilled jobs in America that don’t require a four-year degree — just the right training. Understanding career options is a vital part of finding success after high school. With almost 40% of students not planning to attend college and with over a million students facing homelessness, connecting them to career pathways has never been more important.
