Freedom & Progress 2024
Monday November 18, 2024 2:15pm - 3:00pm EST
As the economy evolves, the traditional college degree is no longer the only path to a successful career. This panel will explore the growing importance of skill-based education and alternative career pathways that prioritize practical experience and vocational training. We will discuss how industries are shifting toward a 'skills first' approach and how these alternatives can open doors to fulfilling, well-paying careers that do not require a four-year degree.
