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?
