For Parents
Your kid doesn't need a four-year degree to build a real career.
You've heard the same story: college, debt, and a job that doesn't quite pay. Meanwhile, American manufacturers are begging for people. This page is the honest map.
Start here

Questions to ask before a program
- · What percent of graduates are placed within 6 months?
- · What is the median starting wage — not the top?
- · Which local employers actively hire from this program?
- · Are stackable credentials included (OSHA, forklift, NIMS)?
- · Is paid or apprenticeship-style work embedded?
