College Readiness 
Career-Technical Pathways
for high school grads
High school graduates looking at their options may be unaware of the
multitude of career-technical pathways open to them. And those who leave
high school without a diploma need to know that they have in no way
reached a dead end.
Two new EdSource publications (available for free in English and Spanish
at
http://www.edsource.org) speak directly to these students, offering
guidance in Q&A format:
About to Graduate from High School? Consider Career Education
Opportunities. This 4-page Q&A contains a wealth of information
about career-technical opportunities available after high school and how
to evaluate them. It answers questions that include: Who can help me
decide which career-technical program to choose? Who offers these
programs? How much do they cost? Is there scholarship money available?
Included are a host of web addresses for resources that can help.
No High School Diploma? You've Got Options! "Don't give up,"
urges this 2-page Q&A, directed to students who are done with high
school but didn't graduate. The questions it answers include: How can I
still get a diploma? Is there a way to get a diploma without taking the
exit exam? Do I need a diploma to go to college?
