Education Pathways
Certificate program
College isn't the only way to build your skills. To make your resume more impressive, you can achieve job-specific or industry-specific skills with certificate programs. In fast-changing fields like technology, certificates can be a wonderful way to show you're nimble in responding to current employer needs.
So if earning a bachelor's or associates degree seems out of reach for you, certificate programs could be your ticket to industry-specific skills that are in high demand by employers.
Associate Degree
The associate degree is typically a 2-year degree composed of 60 college credits, ranking between a high school diploma and a bachelor's degree in education level. If you have limited time or money to spend on higher education, an associates degree can be a great choice.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, those with an associate degree earn an average of nearly 20% more than those with a high school education.
