Non-Degree Paths: Confidence, Employability & Fiscal Freedom

Description:

ASA & JFF's new groundbreaking research says that young people who pursue non-degree pathways have greater confidence in their future, fare better in the labor market than non-pathway youth, experience less unemployment, are better prepared for work, and have a high degree of satisfaction with their chosen pathway. Learn how non-degree pathways benefit real people and are poised to serve the workforce. Understand what barriers still stand in the way of widespread acceptance. Hear top line findings with an introduction by Julie Lammers, SVP Advocacy & Corporate Social Responsibility, ASA.
